I'll give you a couple badass historical women who are not often if ever mentioned in history books with a short definition of what they did.
1.Christina, King of Sweden
Her mother was disappointed when she gave birth to a third daughter, but Christina was like, "Eff that. I'm going to be king one day." Her dad agreed and raised her with the education and rights of a prince, grooming her to one day inherit the throne. And she did at the ripe old age of six. (Though she didn't actually begin ruling until she turned 18.) As King of Sweden (yes, her official title), Christina made Stockholm into a cultural center and continued studying religion, philosophy, and math for at least 10 hours a day. Oh, and BTW—she wore whatever she wanted, including pants.
2. Khutulun
The daughter and trusted adviser of the most powerful ruler of Central Asia in the 13th century, didn't want to get married. This wasn't her fault, because she was a skilled warrior and pretty much every guy was lame in comparison. So she devised a test: a wrestling match. If a man beat her, she'd marry him. If he lost, he would have to hand over a prized horse. She ended up with 10,000 horses.
3. Madam C.J. Walker
She was the first American woman to EVER become a self made millionaire.
4. Hedy Lamarr
She was an actress & inventor who paved the way for WiFi & cellphones.
