This legendary woman was the daughter of a strong, gruff man named Fara Mako, who taught her everything he knew about the world. She also had magical powers that no one knew she had. When her village was being tormented by a giant hippopotamus, devouring all their crops, Nana Miriam decided to take action.
After a brief, magical battle, Nana Miriam took the hippo by one leg, twirled it three times above her head, and threw the beast across the Niger river, where it crashed into a mountain.
2. Hatshepsut

She came to the throne in 1478 B.C. and is regarded as one of the most successful and one of the longest reigning pharaohs in history (22 years). Her greatest achievement was building the memorial temple at Deir el-Bahri, which is one of the most wondrous temples in ancient Egyptian history -- all while fighting to keep her claim to the throne.
3. Lozen

She also had a gift for strategy. Legend has it that Lozen could, almost divinely, predict the movements of the U.S. Cavalry, which had been moving her tribe into deplorable camps and fighting anyone who resisted.
While her life was tragic, she proved herself to be an extraordinary woman who fought extraordinary odds.
4. Queen Boudicca

Her massive campaign that included 100,000 soldiers caused the Roman army to abandon ancient London (then called Londinium), which she and her army burned down.
While she was eventually beaten by Roman general Suetonius, she remains an icon for British history.
5. Princess Pyeonggang
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable The so-called "Weeping Princess" was born to King Pyeongwon of Goguryeo (which is modern-day North Korea), and her constant crying as a child annoyed her father so much that he often threatened that he would marry her off to the dumbest man in the entire kingdom, Ondal the Fool.
When she came of age, she agreed to marry Ondal as a teenage rebellion against her father, who wanted to betroth her to a nobleman.
By selling off her expensive belongings and training her new husband in archery and horsemanship, Ondal became a legendary general.
6. Sita
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Sita, from the Hindu text Ramayana, is the daughter of the Hindu goddess Bhūmi and the adopted daughter of King Janaka and Queen Sunayna of Mithila. She married the Hindu god Rama. Shortly after, she was kidnapped by Ravana, King of Lanka, as her husband was hunting a golden deer to give to her as a gift.
She was eventually rescued by her husband after a fearsome battle between Rama and Ravana. Sita underwent a trial by fire to prove her chastity, and was reunited with Rama with the help of fire-god Agni.
