RE: Badass Women of History--Empress Matilda

in #history8 years ago

Thanks @stephmckenzie. What an entrancing history. I have always knowing about the Platagenets, and to learn that Matilda was the mother of that line is really interesting. Talk about drama. I loved that she persisted. I would love to have met her. Thanks for taking the extensive time it must have taken to make Matilda so interesting. Here's to women Heroines!!!!

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. Matilda's story reminds me of the tagline for the Starz miniseries, The White Queen, which was about Queen Elizabeth Woodville in the Wars of the Roses (another badass woman who I intend to write about in this series).

The tagline said:

"Men go to battle. Women wage war."

Heck yeah. :)
