I'm not so convinced that Queen Boudicca/Boadicea was put to death by the Romans because they felt that she threatened their manhood - I think it was more to do with her being a right pain in the **** for them! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
She is, however a good example of a female warrior/leader. And I believe that she fits in with the revenge theme. Wasn't her family supposed to have been eliminated in a Roman massacre? Hence her hatred of the Romans and her resolve to lead her tribe (the Iceni?) against them.
