Answer 33

Just a few more to add to the list:

Catherine the Great -- under her reign, Russia reached its own "Golden Age"; she also laid the smackdown on the Ottoman Empire and expanded Russia's borders even further, crushed several uprising against her, and led her country into becoming a European superpower

Hanna Reitsch -- only woman to have earned the Iron Cross First Class; set numerous gliding and piloting records during WW2; she was kind of the Chuck Yeager of the Third Reich who was the only woman to test fly the world's first rocket plane (the Messerschmidt 163) and jet aircraft (Me 262); also was a fervent believer in the Nazis

Boudica -- Queen of the Iceni in Britannia in early 1st century AD; led revolt against the Roman occupation; burned Londinium (today, London); was ultimately defeated, but her victories made the mighty Roman empire worry for a time

Hatshepsut -- perhaps the earliest known woman in history who wielded great power and one of those with the longest reign in Egypt; was pharoah in Egypt (which was an accomplishment of its own considering that it nominally went to men); expanded Egypt's fortunes, paving the way with trading missions and massive building projects

Answer 34

<bump>
I would like more to add to this list :-).

Answer 35

Carole Lombard

Answer 36

Louise Michelle with the Paris Commune! I am truly fascinated no one had written her down. After all, she practically set the entire trend for women's right in Europe, only for this trend to go into America. This is not even her work in a nutshell, I would explain it all, but that would ruin the fun aspect of research. xD

Answer 37

I have never heard of her :O.
Interesting! Thanks :D

Answer 38
