Have you heard of the 13th century princess who defied marriage conventions by insisting suitors beat her in a wrestling match first? How about the woman with a prosthetic leg who was one of the most feared spies operating in Nazi Germany during WW2? Or the freed US slave who became a real estate magnate?
At Traditional Women, you’ll learn about these and more fascinating real-life women. Some you may have heard of; many you won’t have, for their achievements have been overlooked, undervalued, or sometimes even outright erased from history. These women are diverse in ethnicity, era, and experience. Some are awe-inspiring, some terror-stoking, some world-changing. But most of all, they show that what we think of as ‘traditional’ feminine roles and values might not be as steeped in history and tradition as we think.
