Warrior Women - Name hunt

[Sinapus]

Shannon Foraker, from the Honor Harrington series.

"Oops."

Tough women 'eh?

How about Janet Reno?

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!

I thought this was supposed to be for tough as in mentality of the women...

Not for the Skin of the women.

Heck if we are talking about Skin or Body mass, why don't we put in Rosie o'Donnell?



Edit: The starship Rosie O'Donnell, To boldly go where no alternative lifestyle has gone before, and to advocate Intergalactic Adoption rights...

Dogscoff, I assume you'll get all of Wagner's valkyrie names from Die Walkure from that viking site?

Practically all Nordic and Germanic female names have original meanings like "battle maiden", "shield maiden", "warrior maiden", etc.

For Greek names, include Medusa and her sisters' names!

I suppose there are names of the agents in The Avengers, all of whom routinely trounced and killed even without recourse to weapons: Catherine Gale, Emma Peel, Tara King.
