Recently a friend of mine was searching for the feminine
version of “Knight”. Something that communicated the noble honor,
integration of royalty, with the strength, cunningness and
calculation of a warrior. Knighthood came about in the Middle Ages
during a time when there was no feminine equivalent for a knight
because women were not considered equal to men. I suggested that
she look into the Japanese culture, there were female samurai
called Onna-Bugeisha. They were intelligent, educated, elite,
powerful leaders trained in weaponry the same way men were. They
fought alongside the male samurai, strong and independent. Empress
Jingu, Tomoe Gozen, Nakano Takeko are some of the more famous
Onna-Bugeisha. There is history that happened and then the history
that has been passed down. For most of history, Anonymous was a
woman. I want to share about these amazing women history in the
days ahead. They didn’t make our history books in school but they
certainly changed the world for the better. Get ready to be
inspired!
