- Lozen of the Chiricahua
- Joan of Arc
- 花木蘭 — Hua Mulan
- Boudica
Just of a few of the random names of important women from various places and times in history. Until recently I had not heard of Lozen. I caught a series on
Discovery Civilization on Women Warriors, and this specific episode was about Lozen of the Chiricahua (a member of the apache Nation) sister of Chief Victorio. She was a warrior and medicine woman, and was part of the last apache stand with Geronimo.
I will have to do some more research, but it was very interesting, and tragic since the Chiricahua were basically rounded up from New Mexico and shipped to a prison in Florida.
More Later....
