In honor of it, I have a book recommendation: Rejected princesses
TW FOR R@pe, violence, and more, look up the trigger warnings before purchasing
Rejected princesses by Jason Porath is about real women who we never learned about in history class, but were totally bad ass and should be known
One of my favorite stories was about a bisexual French actress(?) Who burned down a convent to bang a nun and could totally beat your ass.
Jason also worked for either Disney or Pixar and there's some really cool art in the book. Dude also did his research to these girls, and there's SO MANY IN THERE.
However, the book does have some major trigger warnings to look for, but the stories are also sorted 1-5 levels, with 1 being very tame I could read this to a kid, 5 being incredibly graphic.
But yeah, if you like kick-ass women, check out this book. Happy womens day!
"According to lore and to interviews conducted by tattoo anthropologist Dr. Lars Krutak, Whang- Od was 16 when she began her career as a tattooist under her father’s mentorship. The first and only female mambabatok of her time, Whang-Od would travel to far and neighboring villages, summoned by host communities to imprint the sacred symbols of their ancestors on individuals who have crossed or about to cross a threshold in their lives."
"She is dressed in her usual 'accidental hipster grandma' style, wearing a puffy bomber over track pants and a paisley bandana around her forehead."
Dilma Rousseff. I'm amazed at this bitch, I wanna be her, I literally think what would Dilma do when I try to figure out how to behave at some situations
She used to be president here. She graduated Economics at a Federal university in a different State then went on to graduate studies at my alma mater. She was midway though her doctorate when she had to take a leave to, you know, be the President of the fucking Republic for a couple of terms
When she announced she was a candidate, nobody had heard of her, so I looked up her academic CV and, man, that woman is the queen of public service
She recently had the opportunity to say no to Vladmir the Impaler Putin and that bitch is still alive!! Because she is now the president of the New Development Bank of the BRICs, and Putin came to them like, hey give us some money, we're at war. And she was like uhm... no can do? You're like in infraction of every International Law code for warfare?
Her plane did not even explode mid-air! What a legend!
