Girl Crushes

I LOVE THIS ARTICLE about kick ass women in history. Few things get me as fired up as reading about some amazing, awe inspiring, ladies who history remembers and for sure make me want to stop complaining about occasionally having to wear tights to work.

Basically I have no real complaints bc these women for sure had it tougher than I do.  ALSO politics are and always will be a mess.

"Yolande D'Aragon

Daughter of the King of Aragon (later Spain) who became known as The Queen of Four Kingdoms -- Naples, Sicily, Jerusalem, Cyprus -- titles she inherited although she never visited one of these places. It was her wisdom and intuition that saved France from the English in the first half of 15th century. She found Joan of Arc and told her what to do; and lent Joan her own army to succeed in the relief of Orlèans. With an uncanny instinct for promotion, and an eye and mind to recognise talent, she chose and trained many of the courtiers who helped to make Charles VII of France into "The Victorious" King.

*women have a chance to dodge this.
