Last year I did a few write-ups and drawings about some lady fighters from history who fought openly as their gender (there are plenty of disguised-as-a-man soldiers and plenty of trans soldiers, but those are outside the scope of this series).  This is by no means an exhaustive list; there were plenty of great figures that my schedule didn’t permit me to tackle (at least not yet).  But as Women’s History Month gets started tomorrow, I thought y’all might enjoy reading about some of history’s toughest broads.

I love how after “The Dancing Men” Holmes is constantly telling people to sit down whenever he interviews them.  Watson one time was like ‘hey that woman looks awful, ask her to sit down, Holmes’ and Holmes was like ‘Ah yes!  People like to sit down!  I will hold this as a primary fact of life for the rest of my existence.’

The Doctor (Capaldi), James Bond (Connery), and Mark Watney.

I don’t know what hands I’d feel safer in.

I’m facing the apocalypse with The Rock, Ezio Auditore, and Darrell Hammond. I’ll take it.

You?
