Boadicea

The strength and right of Celtic woman long ago was incredible. In times when in other places women were though of as property and their sole purpose was to serve men, Celtic nations had female leaders like Boadicea. Boadicea was the queen of the Iceni Tribe who lived under Roman rule peacefully until her husbands death. The corrupt ,male, Roman leaders decided to take advantage of the tribe she protested and was beaten and forced to watch her daughters being raped. But, Boadicea would not back down and she staged an uprising against the devilish Romans who had hurt her tribe and family. Unfortunately, the battle ended in her death along with many others in the tribe. I'm sure that they died with honor fighting for what they believed in under a strong leader, their queen Boadicea.
