REJECTED PRINCESSES
Nancy Wake (1912-2011) The Spy With The 5 Million Franc Bounty. This most-wanted WW2 spy rescued Jews and POWs, blew up Nazi trains, and used an X-rated radio rhyme to identify herself to Britain. Comics. Luisa Capetillo (1879-1922) The Activist Arrested For Wearing Pants. In 1915, this rowdy Puerto Rican activist was arrested for wearingpants
PRINCESS PYEONGGANG: THE WEEPING The image is a bit of a mishmash of visual reference — all around the same time, but maybe not from the exact same place and time. As helpers, Pyeonggang has three sacred animals of Korean mythology on screen left: a blue dragon, a three-legged crow, and a bonghwang (roughly equivalent to a phoenix).The bonghwang is designed like a turkey, because it is nigh-impossible for turkeys to look SOPHIE MORIGEAU: HARD-LIVING, HARD-BARGAINING FRONTIER WOMAN It’s easy to forget how much Sophie Morigeau had working against her. For when you look at her successful businesses, her hard-earned wealth and property, and her long succession of boy toys husbands, you could think she just skated through life. But when you see her one eye, her self-amputated rib, and realize she was a Métis 1 A term referring to people who are part First Nations, part MARJANA: THE SLAVE GIRL WHO KILLED ALI BABA'S FORTY THIEVES There’s the Thief Chief, dead with a belly dancer sword in his chest, with his horrible glasses-and-mustache disguise slipping off his face and his dagger slipping out of his hand. In the background are a shocked hookah-wielding Ali Baba, with spilled soup, and an alarmed servant. Outside, in the moonlight, are 38 oil jugs filledwith 37 corpses.
CHING SHIH: PRINCESS OF THE CHINESE SEAS At the head of the Red Flags stood one of the most fearsome pirates in history — Ching Shih, a former prostitute turned leader of over 70,000 men. Getting accurate information on Lady Ching is a bit difficult. Nobody knows much of her early life. Even the name Ching Shih isn’t her own — it translates to “widow of Ching”, herlate
NOOR INAYAT KHAN: THE SPY PRINCESS Noor Inayat Khan was, without a doubt, one of the bravest women to ever live. She was a British secret agent during World War II, working as a radio operator in occupied Paris. In fact, working as the only radio operator in occupied Paris. The average life span for that GWERFUL MECHAIN’S ODE TO PUBIC HAIR Gwerful Mechain’s Ode to Pubic Hair. 15th century Welsh poet Gwerful Mechain is one of the country’s most celebrated female poets, primarily for her poem Cywydd y Cedor (”Ode to Pubic Hair”). In it, she criticizes men for praising the other parts of a woman’s body, but not the genitalia. She declares herself “of great noblestock
SARAH BIFFIN: THE ARTIST WHO PAINTED WITH HER MOUTH The Ada Lovelace connection is mildly dubious. In searching for Sarah’s art online, I came across this listing of one of her pieces, which says it’s of Ada Lovelace, but I’m unsure if that’s accurate. 13. She made her way to Brussels in 1821, where her work was heralded to the king by the Prince of Orange. 14. TIMOCLEA: THE WOMAN WHO THREW HER RAPIST IN A WELL Timoclea’s servants only show up in one of the versions, but they do so to help lugging over rocks with which to kill the dude.

Getting accurate information on Lady Ching is a bit difficult. Nobody knows much of her early life. Even the name Ching Shih isn’t her own — it translates to “widow of Ching”, herlate
ANACAONA: POET QUEEN OF HAITI A pseudohistorical Assyrian queen who, in the Greek tellings, conquered much of Asia and invented the chastity belt. In the Armenian tradition, she was a harlot who castrated boys left and right. There’s not much in between. The Madonna/whore complex: going strongfor 3000 years.
AMANIRENAS: THE ONE-EYED QUEEN WHO FOUGHT ROME TOOTH AND NAIL The One-Eyed Queen Who Fought Rome Tooth and Nail. 1. There’s a ton of different spellings of her name – Amanirenat, Imminerant, etc – but this seems to be the most common one. The Roman historian Strabo referred to her merely by her title as Candace ( kandake ), but there’s a general consensus that Amanirenas was the one that he was STEPHANIE ST. CLAIR: HARLEM'S QUEEN OF NUMBERS The early history of Stephanie St. Clair (who went by Madame Queenie), is lost both to time and to her tendency to lie shamelessly about her past. This much seems certain: she was born on Guadeloupe in the Caribbean, came to New York in the 1910s, and by 1923, had started her own numbers racket with seed money of $10,000.

Getting accurate information on Lady Ching is a bit difficult. Nobody knows much of her early life. Even the name Ching Shih isn’t her own — it translates to “widow of Ching”, herlate
SARRAOUNIA: THE SORCERESS QUEEN OF THE AZNA Sarraounia (a title indicating a female chief, nowadays referring mostly to this Sarraounia) was the “panther queen” of the Azna people. Credited with sorcerous powers, she had been to the “protect my people” rodeo many times before — she’d first driven off the Tuareg, who routinely attempted raids on her village; then the Fulani ALFHILD: THE VIKING PRINCESS WHO BECAME A PIRATE You can see the viper and snake teamed up to hold Alfhild onto the ship. In the background, with their ship run aground and on fire, are a number of manly-man vikings, some of whom are on fire, and others of whom are shirtless and shivering. you'd be seeing some cool stuffright here.
TRUGANINI: THE MOST FAMOUS NATIVE TASMANIAN OF ALL TIME It’s safe to say that Truganini was the most famous Palawa (indigenous Tasmanian) person in history. The daughter of one chief (and later wife of another), she was unfortunately born into a pretty shitty era. Her people were being obliterated by the one-two punch of disease and violence, both courtesy of European colonists. ANI PACHEN: TIBETAN WARRIOR NUN It turned out that Kunsang, too, couldn’t bear children. 2. Pachen’s aunt notably said at one point, “Once one is wed, there is no turning back. The path is full of sorrow.”. 3. Pachen didn’t actually run away by herself. She threatened to jump off the roof unless the family servant helped her run away. MARY PATTEN: THE FIRST AMERICAN WOMAN TO COMMAND A SHIP The first American woman to command a ship 1 So this is a little bit of a murky claim. It’s certain that she’s the first woman who pilot a commercial ship, but I’m only mostly sure she was the first female American boat commander, period. The only other women I could find to rival this claim were river pirate Sadie the Goat — who would have been a decade or so later, and is possibly BETTY PACK: THE GREATEST UNSUNG HEROINE OF WORLD WAR II Betty Pack: The Greatest Unsung Heroine of World War II. (what's a "Modern Worthy"? click here to find out!) During WWII, Betty Pack used seduction to acquire enemy naval codes. “Ashamed? Not in the least.

GWERFUL MECHAIN’S ODE TO PUBIC HAIR 15th century Welsh poet Gwerful Mechain is one of the country’s most celebrated female poets, primarily for her poem Cywydd y Cedor (”Ode to Pubic Hair”).In it, she criticizes men for praising the other parts of a woman’s body, but not the genitalia. TIMOCLEA: THE WOMAN WHO THREW HER RAPIST IN A WELL 1 So the sourcing for this comes from two different works of Plutarch, which have subtle differences between them. I’ve basically chosen a mix of the two to make the most dramatic retelling, but I’m not making anything up. You’ll find links to my sources, as ever, at the bottom of this entry. 2 The captain in question here was confusingly also named Alexander.

Paul Voulet and Julien Chanoine, of the predictably-named Voulet-Chanoine Mission, were acting as if they were competing for a “most heinous atrocity” award. ANACAONA: POET QUEEN OF HAITI ↑1: Which means “golden flower” in the Taino language –“caona”meaning gold. She’d been a negotiator alongside her brother at the 1496 meeting with Columbus’s crew, and was present at the initial meeting in 1492, although it’s uncertain how much negotiation she did then. AMANIRENAS: THE ONE-EYED QUEEN WHO FOUGHT ROME TOOTH AND NAIL 1 There’s a ton of different spellings of her name – Amanirenat, Imminerant, etc – but this seems to be the most common one. The Roman historian Strabo referred to her merely by her title as Candace (kandake), but there’s a general consensus that Amanirenas was the one that he was talking about.2 No, Marc Antony and Cleopatra weren’t together when they died.

She ran Harlem’s numbers rackets, fought the mob and won, and repeatedly dissed them in full page ads in the newspaper — where she attached giant pictures of herself dressed to the nines, because Madame St. Clair was fabulousabove all else.

According to legend, following her husband’s death, she summoned the scattering fleet captains and announced: “Under the leadership of a man you have all chosen toflee.
TRUGANINI: THE MOST FAMOUS NATIVE TASMANIAN OF ALL TIME (this isn’t going to be a happy, flippant-toned entry. If you’re sensitive to racial violence, abuse, or rape, you might want to skip this story – but otherwise, hang in, it’s an important bit of history. also – aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this post contains images and names of people who havepassed away.)
MARY PATTEN: THE FIRST AMERICAN WOMAN TO COMMAND A SHIP The first American woman to command a ship 1 So this is a little bit of a murky claim.

She was constantly looking after things around the house, fetching water (that’s a water jug next to her), and the like. She was not even the only wife — when she was unable to bear more children, Pachen’s father took another wife, Kunsang. LUISA CAPETILLO: THE ACTIVIST ARRESTED FOR WEARING PANTS 1 That’s a direct quote, as given by the main book on her (by Norma Valle-Ferrer, alluded to later in this post). This arrest was made while she was in Cuba, and she was tossed in jail for a bit, but made bail. 2 Her parents were both fairly well-educated blue-collar types. Her mom was a governess who’d been born in France, and her dad wasfrom Spain.
