Who is your favourite woman of history?

thats pretty qt

Catherine the great is up there for me, I don't know anything about Hedwig of Poland outside of her portrayal in some art and the new civ game.

>your country never had a bronze age elected shaman queen
Why live?

Even if one concedes the Christian doctrine, what exactly did she do besides give birth to Jesus?

She is the ever-virgin who raised Jesus, loved Him and at the end of her life was taken up into Heaven. She now intercedes for us Christians here on Earth, standing in the presence of God.

get that pagan shit outta here

Woman?

...

She would be my choice.

Since when was Taylor Swift a captain?

>the british have unironically had women as leaders

>Who is your favourite woman of history?
None, I look down upon women

"Better to die an emperor than live as a fugitive."

My mom.

The spammer is back. Listen, we don't like her here.

shit quote. boils down to "muh opinions"

probably cleopatra.

cat the great is a good choice

Seconding this, Theodora was shrewd as fuck.

Strong, dominant female leaders turn me on so Tomyris, Omphale, and Amazonian queens are relevant to my interests. I need more to look up so I'd appreciate any recommendations to add to this list

>Japanese half-legendary empress Jingu
>Shanakdakhete, kandake of Wewuzia
>Zenobia "Augusta" Septimia
>her spiritual successor Mavia - less ambition, more actual separation from Rome
>Dihya, tried to not let kebab into Maghreb, died trying
>Ching Shih, the most successful pirate, period

The Trung sisters are pretty cool

Brunhilda of Austrasia

>you will never be the royal consort of a strong, dominant matriarch of an empire
>you will never escort her to her private chambers, light a fire in the hearth, and hold her until the winter chill is gone from her hands and body
>you will never rub her sore, aching joints and feet whilst she relaxes
>you will never clean her cunt and asshole with your tongue after a long, hot, sweaty day of managing the affairs of the state
>you will never experience the joy of having her fling you onto the bed at night, down her chalice of wine, and pin you down in an amazon position, hammering you until you come inside her multiple times
>you will never carry her upstairs after a banquet, making sure she doesn't make a drunken heathen of herself
>you will never tuck her in and tell her how much you lover her...only after she is asleep, however

she was actually a pretty popular feminist figure once, feminist hate religion now so they no longer care.

>Basic and not meme worthy enough

Id Have to say Empress Theodora of the Eastern Roman Empire (Or Byzantine if you are casual)

Hypatia of Alexandria

Sorghaghtani Beki

tie between:
septimia zenobia-- capable administrator, decent conqueror, progressive and accepting of new ideas for the time.
and
ching-shih-- baddest pirate in all of asian history

>Queen of France
>Queen of England
>went on a crusade
>grandchildren would rule Castille, Leon, Portugal, Aragon, Sicily, and the HRE

That warrior queen who supposedly killed Cyrus the Great seems like she was a badass. Nobody really knows if there's any truth to that story though.

Thats Tomyris

tfw both OP and that picture depict the same person

My mom

...

so basically nothing.

The "story" is a friend of a friend of mine once said tier.

Bump

Probably Marie Curie or that woman who wrote the first compiler.

During a remarkably successful career lasting from 1506 until her death in 1530, Margaret broke new ground for women rulers. After the early death of her brother Philip of Spain, in November 1506 she became the only woman elected as its ruler by the representative assembly of Franche-Comté (her title was confirmed in 1509). Her father Emperor Maximilian named her governor of the Low Countries and guardian of her young nephew Charles (the future Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor) in 1507. From her newly built palace at Mechelen, Margaret acted as intermediary between her father and her nephew's subjects in the Netherlands, negotiated a treaty of commerce with England favorable to the Flemish cloth interests, and played a role in the formation of the League of Cambrai (1508). After his majority in 1515, Charles rebelled against her influence, but he soon recognized her as one of his wisest advisers, and –the only regent ever re-appointed indefinitely by the ruler who dismissed her– she was again governor of the Netherlands from 1519 until her death in on 1 December 1530.

Margaret had received a fine education. She played several instruments, was well read and wrote poetry. Her court at Mechelen was visited by the great humanists of her time, including Erasmus, Adrian of Utrecht (later Pope Adrian VI), and Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa. She possessed a rich library, consisting mostly of missals, historical and ethical treatises (which included the works of Christine de Pizan) and poetry. It included the famous illuminated Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry. She ordered several splendid music manuscripts from Pierre Alamire to send them as gifts to members and her family and to her political relations, and possessed several Chansonniers herself. They contained works by Josquin des Prez, Johannes Ockeghem, Jacob Obrecht and Pierre de la Rue, who was her favourite composer.

Margaret Cavendish lived and wrote in the thick of the mechanistic revolution of the seventeenth century, though many of her views—about thinking matter, the nature of scientific explanation, and the intelligibility of the divine—seem almost contemporary. In her own age, she was regarded alternately as mad, pretentious, a curiosity, and a genius. She finally received some much-wanted recognition from her male peers in 1667, when she was offered an extremely rare invitation to participate in a meeting of the Royal Society, though to be sure she was regarded as a spectacle by many in attendance. She died in December 1673 and was buried at Westminster Abbey. Over the course of her short life she produced a number of important works in philosophy. These include Philosophical and Physical Opinions (1656), Orations of Divers Sorts, Philosophical Letters (1664), Observations Upon Experimental Philosophy (1666), The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing World (1666), and Grounds of Natural Philosophy (1668).

>...though I cannot be Henry the Fifth, or Charles the Second; yet, I will endeavour to be, Margaret the First: and, though I have neither Power, Time nor Occasion, to be a great Conqueror, like Alexander, or Cesar; yet, rather than not be Mistress of a World, since Fortune and the Fates would give me none, I have made One of my own.

Those belong in Veeky Forums

>Tfw I have a massive crush of Boudicca and will never have a red head war chief waifu with woad tattoos
:'(

The distinction is superfluous anyways.

>You will never have a femdom session with theodora after your royal duties are fulfilled for the day
>ywn get forced to bed by your strong, horny, harlot of a wife
>Theodora will never sit on your face and fuck you silly until your balls shrivel

That is interesting, tell me more about her feminist qualities

I can fap to this.

Mature Napoleanne a best

Best woman ever.

Kill yourself.

If you're just attracted to women named Margaret, check out Marguerite de Navarre, who wrote her version of Decameron.

>inb4 butthurt socdems and /pol/acks

>ever-virgin
Dude, she was married

What the fuck did she do besides getting killed by her fellow commie kikes?

The ones who weren't born.

>Lost fucking everything
>Shit leader
>10 to 1 in her favor
> Couldn't even think of Guerilla tactics on her on turf
That slut is worse than Sakura.

I wonder how things would have turned out had she agreed to marry Charlemagne.

Took Joan as my confirmation name a few years ago. I think the bishop got a bit weirded out by a guy choosing it desu

Thats fuckin weird bro why did you not pick the male version of the name.

My mom

>I'm actually joking. She's a alcoholic Opiate addict with AIDs and has the mentality of a 14 year old girl despite being 50+. At least the crazy shit happened after the divorce and our dad got custody.
