Artemisia I of Caria Vulgar History

Artemisia I of Caria is one of the earliest recorded t**s out women of history. She was the Queen of Halicarnassus hundreds of years before Cleopatra, and midway through the events of the Old Testament. She helped out Persian Emperor Xerxes I battle against the Greeks, and was so impressive Herodotus wrote about her (even though she was a woman).
