-->Oh, and don't use the word "plunder." Instead, say "transferring shipment of goods." It just sounds nicer.

A website and later book by Jason Porath, a former Creator/DreamWorks Animator, ''[[http://www.rejectedprincesses.com/ Rejected Princesses]]'' chronicles the lives of women "too awesome, awful or offbeat for kid's movies" with illustrations and meticulously researched stories.

* [[HeWhoFightsMonsters She Who Fights Monsters]]: Vitka Kempner and the other members of ''Ha-Nokmim'' ("The Avengers"), a jewish resistance group during [=WW2=], became steadily more merciless as the war went on, murdering civilians on sight out of fear that they might report them to the Nazis. After the war, they reformed into ''Nakam'', "Revenge", who plotted to poison the waterworks of major German cities, killing 6 million Germans, including children and those with no affiliation to the Nazi regime. Thankfully, both that plan and their backup plan (poisoning German [=POWs=]) failed.

* [[TheManBehindTheMan The Woman Behind The Woman]]: Joan of Arc's entry from the book makes the case that [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yolande_of_Aragon Yolande of Aragon]] was this for Joan and getting her in front of the King of France in the first place.

* BaldWomen: [[http://www.rejectedprincesses.com/princesses/masako-hojo Masako Hojo]] is depicted as this since she eventually became a Buddhist nun. Jason admits that the illustration is mixing her history a bit since she wasn't yet a nun at the time of the incident where she flattened Lady Kame's house after she found out her husband was cheating on her with the other woman, but he wanted to show her as bald.

* BreachOfPromiseOfMarriage: A major factor in the legal case of Artemisia Gentileschi from the book, since her rapist Tassi had promised to marry her to keep her quiet but later reneged on his promise, which prompted the Gentileschis to charge him in court and eventually win their case.
