Manuela Sáenz
This revolutionary heroine of South America kept a pet bear, a disembodied moustache, and a lifestyle that defied every convention possible.
Beloved
The ghost of a tragically-murdered young child come back to haunt her mother in post-slavery America.
La Llorona
Mexico's infamous "weeping ghost" has many incarnations: a jilted widow, a slave princess, a milk addict, a coffee bag, and a pair of panties.
Thákane
When her deadbeat brothers demanded the impossible, this South African princess carried through, and slayed a dragon.
Jeanne de Clisson

Tirgatao
Abandoned and imprisoned, this real-life Amazon took back the life she had stolen away.
Li Chi
