Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

If you like reading up on Warrior queens, Antonia Fraser wrote a book of ancient to recent actual queens and political ones (unfortunately including Margaret Thatcher too) It has boudicca, zenobia, Cleopatra etc kicking the shit out of the Romans (for a while anyway)
I've always loved reading about Celtic life and history, they had 10 types of marriage, only 3 of which were permanent. Women could rule independently, own property, take lovers, and go into battle, a fact that absolutely horrified the Romans
That book sounds great!! I've never heard of zenobia. And celtic culture seems really interesting I'll have a Google
