July 2014

Shajar al-Durr (1220s?-1257)
King-ransoming Sultan
Muslim sultan who took the throne, defeated Louis IX in battle, ransomed him back to France for 30% of their GDP --- and did it all in secret.
Osh-Tisch (1854-1929)
Princess of Two Spirits
The last Crow nation baté (Two Spirit mystic) in history, she earned her name -- which means "Finds Them and Kills Them" -- by tirelessly fighting to preserve her way of life.
Ida B. Wells (1862-1931)
Princess of the Press
One of the first anti-lynching advocates, she risked her life for decades to report on the truth when nobody would believe her.

Nog Prize #1

In which I start the tradition of heralding people smarter than I am -- this time for catching something about Fredegund's entry!
Elisabeth Bathory (1560-1614)
The Blood Countess
Possibly the most prolific female serial killer in history, a primary inspiration for Dracula, one of the most reviled women in history, and, I argue, innocent.
Petra Herrera (late 1800s?-early 1900s)
Soldadera Princess
Mexican revolutionary who bombed bridges, led hundreds of women into battle, and was instrumental in turning the tide of the war for the revolutionaries.
