Action Girl: Religion
  • The Bible, in Chapter 4 of Judges, has Deborah, a prophetess and leader (or "judge") of Israel, leading her people to victory against a foreign enemy. Boudicea-like, she is a skilled charioteer.
    • In the same story there's Jael, the wife of one of Deborah's generals, who put a tent peg through an enemy king's head. She's more of a Guile Hero, however, having manipulated the guy first before killing him when distracted.
    • Rahab, the madame of a brothel, gleans secrets from enemy soldiers in moments of distraction and passes them to the Israelites who are besieging the city.
    • There's also Plucky Girl Judith, who tricks an enemy general and cuts his head off to free the Jews from him.
  • Greek mythology features goddesses Athena (Lady of War) and Artemis.
  • Sif, sword-maiden and wife of Thor, from Norse mythology.
