there is a woman even more badass in my view that has been forgotten. Queen Burecca. she was the crown princess of Maldives. her grandfather the sultan named her heir on his death bed but her brother refused and occupied the throne so she went to Sumatra learned martial arts came back challaged her bother in a duel and killed him and regained her rightful place as the Queen of the twelve thousand isles.

I'm a little disappointed that Murasaki Shikibu wasn't even an honourable mention on this list. She was noblewoman born during the Heian period in Japan when women were thought to be unintelligent, but she was allowed to study alongside her brother. She wrote what is considered to be the first novel (or at least the first modern novel), called The Tale of Genji. I know she wasn't a fierce fighter or ruler, but I think writing one of the earliest novels (which was also very popular at it's time) while being in a position where society thinks you're naturally unintelligent is pretty bloody badass.

Didn't she also wrote a novel about traveling too? Which if others knew about Japanese culture during the Heian era was a time in which a woman couldn't travel at all, much less a woman of high court status. Her place was at home at all times caring for the household, the children, her in-laws and grandparents. What is a woman doing out traveling? LOL So writing a travel novel was risky in of itself, not just a normal novel, it was a travel novel. So scandalous back in the days, yet sold thousands of copies back then, which by today's standards would be the equivalent of selling millions. BTW, these books written from female perspective was all of the rage during Heian, especially throughout Edo period too. These travel journals were thee books to read. Both men and women readers loved the traveling adventures of the female authors. Just a little added information to your awesome comment. Thank you so much. ^_^

Sophie I didn't know about the travel, but just her ability to read and write was amazing. At the time, Chinese was the only respectable language to write in, and not only did her words have to be perfect for her book, so did her calligraphy. In addition, The Tale of Genji presents the brutal inside of high-born Japanese at the time. The treatment of women was unbelievable.

The Mirabal sisters loved their country and made the ultimate sacrifice. Their museum is located in Conuco, Salcedo, Dominican Republic. I hope if you visit DR you're able to go to the museum and see a small glimpse into their lives. Thank you for including the Mirabal Sisters!

I was missing Marie Curie, the first women to reveice a nobel prize and the only women in history to receive two! In two different categories to top it off (chemistry and physics). There are a lot of women in science that never got the recognition they deserved and were able to outperform men without the same chances of education. I highly respect every women who stood up for herself and her right to be educated. Education is one of the most valuable things we have and everyone should have the same access to it.

She disproved the Law of Conservation of Parity her male colleagues were awarded Nobel Prizes, She did not receive one, solely because she was a woman. She began to speak out in the name of Women in Science. She went on to win several medals, but she went unnoticed. Not many people know of her name, or the amazing work she did throughout her lifetime. As a Asian-American Woman, Chien-Shiung Wu, tore down barriers, and though she does not have the notariety of other trailblazers, she did her work in physics for the betterment of human kind!

No Maria Skłodowska Curie? Really?! You've got to be kidding me! This woman was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person and only woman to win twice, the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two different sciences. Her achievements included the development of the theory of radioactivity (a term that she coined), techniques for isolating radioactive isotopes, and the discovery of two elements, polonium and radium. Under her direction, the world's first studies were conducted into the treatment of neoplasms, using radioactive isotopes. She founded the Curie Institutes in Paris and in Warsaw, which remain major centres of medical research today. During World War I, she established the first military field radiological centres. You don't have to be a pirate to be one badass woman! In fact, this video is kind of sexist by the whole message: "Look! Those women acted like the man! Beeing JUST like men make you badass".

Or the civil and women's right activist who was thrown off of a train long before rosa parks caused the bus boycott. (Also rosa parks was a stand in for the teenager Claudette Colvin. they did that because, well colvin was a teen.) also i don't think we should only talk about the "good" women of history because women do some pretty shitty stuff too, and we should remember that. like Elizabeth R. Graves who helped on the manhattan project, Isle Koch who was commandant of Buchenwald, Delphine Lalaurie (you've seen american horror story?), Elizabeth Bathory, and Jiang Quing. If we can remember the terrible things men do, we can remember the terrible things us women do as well. honorary mention: Phryne of Greece who escaped death because she flashed the judges. Laila Al-Attar who political expression through her art got her and her family murdered.

So, when she went to vote, people were like "but you're a woman". And she was like "well, my husband's dead, I'm the family chief. It doesn't say anywhere it has to be a man". No one was expecting a women to be the family chief, so, they had to let her vote against what they wanted. On the next year they changed the law only to male family chief's -.- I know she wouldn't make it on the list, but I find her story really funny. She was a doctor, and a surgeon xD

My great great grandma who was born in 1875 in Germany and moved to Wisconsin at five years old: her name was Emma Borth Liebsch and she ran a family farm with her kids, grandkids, great grandkids after her husband died in 1923. She spoke German and English and her extra help was ironically my grandpa and his brothers so she also played match maker to my grandma. She ended up dying from Alzheimer’s and heart disease in 1969. My mom said that my great great grandma was the strongest woman until she couldn’t function anymore. Her medical problems never affected her either.

All in all great list. Some of the women were knew to me and others have been on my families list for years. I noticed Hatshepsut was on the list. She was falsely depicted as racially ambiguous. Egypt was not taken over by the Greeks or Romans at that time and Egypt is an African country. Look at your maps people. Hatshepsut is African, one of the most beautiful women ever and wasn't properly represented. Also the Genghis Khan descendent was great but again reenactment should have used an Asian woman. So glad for the list of names but remember some people just take what you show them and assume that that is what they looked like.

The actress on the title card of this video is portraying "Consort Xiao Shufei 蕭淑妃". She wasn't exactly historically popular, considering she was the Consort to Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. When Consort Wu(Empress Wu Zetian 則天順聖皇后) became Empress, she had Consort Xiao and the deposed Empress(Empress Wang 王皇后) put to death in the most horrific and painful way ever.

Here's some other women that didn't get enough credit 1- Boudica: A woman that united celtic tribes to lead a rebellious uprising to fight against the evil tyranny of then Roman Emperor Nero for revenge for her fallen tribe, her murdered husband, and her two raped daughters....She had sacrificed herself at the very end and that sacrifice made the message clear for the rest of the celts that they would not give in and their undying resolve lead to the end of the severe tribute payments and brutal punishments that the celts had suffered under Nero's invasion and supposedly drove them off 2-Margaret Chase Smith: A woman senator that took the chair after her husband died under the "widow's mandate", but instead of just occupying space until her dead husband's term was over, she instead got to work, even RAN for congress in the 1940's and won three damn times, and then ran for senate and beat her opponent, it was then there she met the biggest bully in Washington, Joe McCarthy, a man that attacked every senator for having some relation to communism even if there wasn't any...He burned over 30,000 books that had things that didn't appeal to his anti-communist views, and even went after the military for thinking that some of them had dinner with communists...The FUCKING MILITARY(McCarthy was NUTS)...and even though she was a strong anti communist, she stood up to him because she also believed that the freedom of speech and opinions no matter how unpopular they may be...she had bested him and McCarthy decided to fund her rival at the primaries, but she had absolutely crushed her opponent as well as McCarthy and even at one point ran for the presidency

Ching Shi and her army weren't offered amnesty, she straight up walked in, alone, and demanded amnesty for her and those under her (if they wanted it that is) under the unspoken threat that if they refused/harmed her her fleet would eliminate them. her fleet was also significantly stronger the Chinese navy and army and it important to note that she already held high rank and respect from her peers before her husband died. she also married her adopted son and started up a casino.

Lilya Litviak, the White Rose of Stalingrad, an ace fighter pilot in World War II. While she started out in the all female 586th fighter group. She was soon moved into the men's fighting divisions. She flew over 60 missions, shot down a German ace, and was wounded in aerial battle twice. She was just 21 years old when she was shot down and disappeared behind enemy lines. Decades after the war her body was finally found in the area she was last seen fighting.

I greatly admire Isabella I of Spain (reconquered Spain from moors along her equal and husband Ferdinand I) and Elizabeth I of England, the golden age monarch. As well Catherine of Aragon (the first divorcee in modern history) has a soft spot in our hearts. They´re a little bit mainstream.

What about Countess Constance Markievicz? She was a huge part of the Irish rebellion of 1916. She was the only female leader and was not executed because she was a woman, although she asked to be killed too. Along with this she was the first woman elected to the British House of Commons, however she didn't take her seat because her political party, Sinn Féin, were not taking their seats as a form of protest. She was also appointed Minister of Labour in Ireland's first Dáil Éireann, making her one of the first women in the world to hold cabinet. Markievicz was a suffragette. She sold her possessions to feed the starving people of Dublin during the 1913 Lockout. She was friends with WB Yeats who wrote a poem about her and her sister titled: 'In Memory of Eva Gore-Booth and Con Markievicz'.

I miss Dorottya Kanizsai from the list :) She was a hungarian noblewoman around the 15th - 16th century. At that time, the nobles have sent their daughters to aristocratic womans like her to learn, and this way she became very popular. When her second husband died, she lived while supporting the poors. After the mohácsi battle (for us it's a kind of turning point) she began to search for his stepson's body. While doing that, with the help of the priests and her servants, she buried the fallen warriors, giving them the final respects. Now, we have a lot of institution named after her, for example a medical school. But because she is hungarian, she is not really famous in other countries, and she isn't that kind of hero, as the others on the list. I just thought I'd share her story, because in her own way, she is also a hero, I think :) And if any of you heard of Erzsébet Báthory (or Elizabeth Bathory), she is also hungarian, but she's completely different from what the horror-stories tell about her :D

Oh, and I almost forgot! :D At 1552, when the Ottoman Empire tried to get in to Europe's territory, we held them back. At Eger's castle, the women had big role in the fight, and we repulsed them. And at Munkács's castle, Ilona Zrínyi (the wife of the castle's lord) held the fort for two years (1686-1688) with a hanful of people. But she was betrayed, and she had to give up. But even so, I'm very proud of our ancestors, not only the females though ;) ^^
