Title explains it, Christine de Pizan was kind of a bamf and you should know about her.
Awesome.
I'll see your Christine de Pizan and raise you the biggest badass that no one really knows: The Viking of Stamford Bridge.
It just makes my history heart go all pitter patter when someone was so incredibly badass that even though their name has been lost, it's instead been replaced with a badass title.
