Скачать или смотреть Ireland Had Female Warriors 2,000 Years Before Women Could Vote

Ancient Ireland had female warriors leading armies into battle 2,000 years before women could vote and one of them trained the greatest hero in Celtic mythology. Scáthach was a legendary Irish warrior woman who ran an elite military academy on the Isle of Skye around 200 AD, training warriors from across Europe including Cú Chulainn, Ireland's most famous mythological hero.
But Scáthach wasn't alone. Queen Medb of Connacht led armies in Ireland's greatest epic battles. Aife was another warrior queen described as one of the greatest fighters in the world. Under ancient Brehon Law, Irish women could be warriors, own property, divorce their husbands, declare war, and rule as chieftains—rights women in the rest of Europe wouldn't have for another 2,000 years.
The Romans wrote about Celtic warrior women in horror, terrified of fighting women in battle. One Roman historian wrote that "a whole band of foreigners will be unable to cope with one Celtic woman in a fight." This wasn't mythology—this was legal reality in ancient Ireland while women in the rest of Europe were treated as property.
