4.0

so when i was doing my undergrad my friends and i came across the wondrous tale of julie d'aubigny, a seventeenth century crossdressing french duellist and opera singer

(she was cool as hell)

this led to us continuing to wander the Internet wilds and coming across tales of even more fascinating historical women like ching shih (a REALLY effective 19th century chinese pirate who basically dominated the china sea) and noor inayat khan (a sufi british spy in world war ii who refused to abandon her post in france after the nazis killed basically every other spy operative in the area) and being like HOW have we not heard of these women before?????

so anyways we spent some time kicking around the idea of doing SOMETHING online to draw attention to these women. a blog? webcomic? youtube channel?

(the second one would've been hard as none of us could draw)

this is all to say that clearly sam maggs was lurking somewhere in our university, overheard us, and beat us to the punch with wonder women

kudos sam maggs, i graduated four years ago and we never did get around to building that website. glad someone is spreading the good word about amazing historical women

4 stars
