Just for women's history month, here are my three current favorite A-list women in ancient history. They made it to the top ranks in male dominated fields because of their prowess or intelligence.- Atalanta
She may be legendary, but she's still extraordinary. In a fair fight, she might give Achilles a run for his money. Read about: Atalanta - Aspasia of Miletus
What I love about her is that she could advise and best the great philosophers of her time, including Socrates. Read about Aspasia of Miletus. - Artemisia of Halicarnassus
The lone female commander in the Persian fleet, she tricked the Greeks and really impressed Herodotus. Read about Artemisia of Halicarnassus
I did say they were A list.
