MMWandali:
good for them

Karleb:
You people sha have to bring men into this again.


Just say they were special.


There are women older, richer and influential than I am but how the hell does that make the have "more balls" than myself?

TheSourcerer:
it was figurative , even literally these women had more balls than 'yourself ' yes

TheSourcerer:
Fastest in the world


Wilma Rudolph was dubbed "the fastest woman in the world" and in 1960 became the first American woman to win three gold medals in track and field at the same Olympic Games, according to the National Women's History Museum.

TheSourcerer:

Catherine the Great (1729 – 1796)

“Power without a nation's confidence is nothing.”




Catherine the Great is one of the world’s great historical figures and the Prussian-born Queen is one of the more ruthless women to make this list.

Stuck in a loveless marriage to the King of Russia, Catherine orchestrated a coup to overthrow her wildly unpopular husband Peter III, and then named herself Empress of the Russian Empire in 1762.

Catherine is credited for modernising Russia and established the first state-funded school for girls, reeled back the power of the church within the state and encouraged the development of the economy, trade and the arts.

mansakhalifa:


And a regicide makes the list...

CAPSLOCKED:


[s]HOW DOES SHE HAVE MORE BALLS THAN MEN WHEN SHE NEVER RACED AGAINST MEN?

LIKE KARLEB SAYS, THIS COMPARISON IS UNCALLED FOR. THESE WOMEN MAY HAVE ACHIEVED GREAT THINGS. BUT THESE ACHIEVEMENTS ARE WAY MORE INFERIOR THAN THE LEAST OF THINGS ACCOMPLISHED BY MEN.

YOU WANT TO SOUND "EQUAL" BUT IT NEVER WORKS BECAUSE SEXISM IS EVIDENT IN EVERYTHING YOU DO AND SAY.

Karleb:


Whether figurative or literally the more balls comparison is uncalled for.

You don't have to ridicule men to praise women.

Compare women with women if you have to make comparison.

EVILFOREST:
Where is HARRIET TUBMAN..?

TheSourcerer:
it was either her or Liz

mansakhalifa:


You mean the regicide? It's got to be her.

There's a 70-90% chance she got the Emperor{Pyotr III} killed.

TheSourcerer:
1. Of course queen Amina
I have to get that CAPSLOCKED
QUEEN AMINA



At a time when men dominated most aspects of life, Amina the queen of Zazzau emerged. A skillful Hausa warrior, she commanded a vast army which conquered many territories and greatly expanded her kingdom.
How can you sum up what Amina of Zazzau stands for?

'Amina, a woman like a man!' This is the slogan used to describe Amina. Everything she did as a queen exceeded what her male predecessors had done. She now symbolizes the spirit and strength of womanhood.

When and where did Amina live?

Amina is believed to have been born in the16th century but scholars differ on the exact date of her birth. She lived in what is now Zaria City, in Kaduna State, Nigeria.

What is Amina remembered for?

She is mostly remembered as the revered warrior queen.

She reigned for 34 years and greatly expanded her kingdom through conquests. She also opened up trade routes and is believed to have initiated the cultivation of kola nuts in the territory she ruled.

The second sultan of Sokoto, Mohammed Bello, who was also a son to Usman dan Fodio, the famous Islamic Crusader, first wrote about her in his book 'Infaku'l Maisuri' (The Wages of the Fortunate). According to him, Amina was the first to introduce administration as we know it to Hausa societies, and she also had a unique gift of leadership.



What controversy still surrounds Amina's existence?

Some have argued that Amina's story is a myth and that she never existed. But there is evidence that points to her existence. One example is the walls she built around the major cities she conquered. Furthermore, there are still structures and ruins of what used to be her palace and military training grounds in Zaria.

Although she didn't have children of her own, there are claims that direct descendants of her other siblings are still alive and are among the elite ruling houses of the emirate.

Her cause and place of death remains a matter of contention, but it is widely accepted that she died in battle at Atagara, a place in present day Kogi State, north central Nigeria.

How present is Amina in modern Nigeria and beyond?

Various places and institutions in northern Nigeria bear Amina's name. One of these is a government secondary school named after her in Kaduna state, Queen Amina College. There are also female hostels called Queen Amina Hall in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and the University of Lagos.

The character in the US-American television series 'Xena: Warrior Princess' is said to have been inspired by Amina, princess and later queen of Zazzau.
