    I know she has things written about her but I would love to know more about Cassandra from Troy, to never be listened to but to know the truth must be the worst thing in the world!

    I'd go with Elizabeth Garrett Anderson ..first woman to qualify as a surgeon Then had to work abroad as the medical authorities banned her from working here, and closed the route for other women to qualify.Then founded the first women's hospital

    I live in the USA and sent you an email any way just so my two choices were mentioned.
    Boudicca or Boudica depending on your spelling and Hua Mulan.

    Lady Macbeth. I've recently finished Dorothy Dunnett's King Hereafter - that and all I've read since has convinced me that between them Shakespeare and posterity have given Queen Gruoch a raw deal. Time to reclaim her reputation!
