Default Re: Warrior Women - Name hunt

Molly Pitcher: carried water to the artillery guys during a battle of the US-GrtBrtn war (c. 1776), then took over swabbing out the cannons (using her petticoats, if you believe the story) when the men fell exhausted or dead.

Jael: pretended to befriend the fleeing enemy commander Sisera; once he was asleep she put a tent peg through his temples and into the ground. Ouch! (See Judges 4.)

How about Rosie the Riveter's construction yard base? Or the Mata Hari planet filled with spy centers.

And I can't believe nobody mentioned Diana Prince, alias Wonderwoman. We'd all be Nazis by now if it weren't for her!
