Welcome to Tuesday Trivia!

If you are:

• a long-time reader, lurker, or inquirer who has always felt too nervous to contribute an answer
• new to /r/AskHistorians and getting a feel for the community
• Looking for feedback on how well you answer
• polishing up a flair application
• one of our amazing flairs

this thread is for you ALL!

Come share the cool stuff you love about the past!

We do not allow posts based on personal or relatives' anecdotes. Brief and short answers are allowed but MUST be properly sourced to respectable literature. All other rules also apply—no bigotry, current events, and so forth.

For this round, let’s look at: Women leaders! For this round of Tuesday Trivia, the call is open for all things related to Women Leaders in history. Women who held formal or informal leadership roles, those who were given or took power, and those who challenge the idea of what it means to be a leader. You take the lead and we'll fall in line in this week's thread!
