History remembers the kings.
But hidden between its gilded pages are queens who refused to kneel. ⚔️
From Joan of Arc’s divine fire to Jeanne d’Albret’s defiant faith, from Catherine de Medici’s iron diplomacy to Mekatilili wa Menza’s East African rebellion, these women ruled not by permission — but by presence. 🌍✨
They were warriors, saints, strategists, and seductresses who bent empires to their will and redefined what power could look like.
In this essay, I revisit their lives — not as footnotes in men’s chronicles, but as architects of destiny. 💫
Because history isn’t just a tale of kings.
It’s a chorus of queens who fought, led, and lived beyond the margins. 👸🔥
