Boudicca

"As for the men, may they live and be slaves!" ---Boudica. Cool woman.

In Marion Zimmer Bradley's Ravens of Avalon, Boudicca is a strong, brave character, and as a historical figure, a lovely namesake.
I came to this site looking for the meaning of this name and- really weird coincidence- it was the name of the day.

There is a historical fiction novel "Song for a Dark Queen," about the famous Celtic queen.

In the cartoon 'Gargoyles' the Gargoyle dog on Avalon is named Boudicca.

Boudicca was a fierce Celtic woman, with long red hair. She led an army in a time where women had little place in society and faced the invading Romans, who had conquered many countries including Gaul (France). Although she lost the battle, she was a great woman.
