“Unveiling the Fearless Warrior Queens Who Changed the Course of History: Are You Ready to Meet the Legends?”
Not only was Tamar a fierce force to be reckoned with, but she was also actively involved in the military, acting as commander of her army. Under her watchful eye, her kingdom flourished in every way possible. The great leader passed away in her early fifties due to an unnamed, devastating disease. Needless to say, her legend lived on.
Nakano Takeko of China
One of history’s only known female samurais, Takeko was a force to be reckoned with. Originally educated in literary and martial arts, she was one of few females who chose to fight in the Battle of Aizu in 1868.
Fearless in her attack, Takeko led the “Women’s Army” into battle armed with a Japanese polearm. Although her actions would make her a historical figure, she met her fate when she was shot in the chest during the charge against the Imperial Japanese Army of Ogaki. Her final wish was that her sister cut off her head and bury it to stop her enemies making a war trophy out of it. Her sister did as she was bid, and buried Takeko underneath a pine tree at the Hokai-Ji Temple in Fukushima. These days, girls come each year to honor her bravery.
Rani Lakshmibai of India
If you mess with a woman’s rightful ownership, then beware. She’s coming for you. Rani Lakshmibai was married to the ruler of Jhansi in Northern India in the 19th-century. Unable to have children, Rani and her husband adopted a son to take over the throne, but when the King died at an early age, the British advanced and tried to take over. The Queen wasn’t about to give up that easily, though.
