Helena Scheuberin - was an innocent #Austrian woman who stood trial accused of #witchcraft in 1485. She refused to accept her charges and with the support of her husband she fought.

Aspasia 470-post 428 BC -  one of the two female #philosophers whom #Plato recognised as a teacher of #Socrates and her partner the statesman #Pericles.

Penelope - was the cunning and loyal legendary/semi mythical Queen of Ithaca, daughter of #Spartan king #Icarius and nymph #Asterodia. Famed for her fidelity to her husband #Odysseus, despite the attention of over a hundred suitors. She defended her husband and son's right to rule for 20 years.

Æthelflæd 870 – 918, daughter of #AlfredtheGreat, ruled as Lady of the #Mercians in the English Midlands from 911 until her death in 918. Her accession as a sole female ruler in #Mercia is described as one of the most unique events in early #medieval history.

Eleanor of Aquitaine 1124 – 1204 - Duchess of #Aquitaine, Queen of #France, Queen of #England, wife to two Kings, mother to two Kings, mother to two Queens, co ruler with 4 Kings. She was one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in Western Europe during the High Middle Ages.
