Observaciones y contexto

The Celts understood the nature of women as equals with their own characteristics; therefore, among them there was no problem for a woman to take the place of leader, as long as it was for the benefit and help of the community; an idea far removed from the Roman patriarchal view of the role of women.

The figure of Boudica as a warrior queen can be compared with other Iron Age females who have been found buried with a rich trousseau and accompanied by their chariot, such as the Lady of Vix (-500 to -400) or the Lady of the Wetwang Chariot (c. -300 to -200), in Yorkshire, among others. Another Celtic chieftain contemporary to her was Cartimandua (of the Brigantes) who followed the opposite strategy and allied herself with the Romans. As a Celtic prophetess and priestess of the war goddess Andraste we can compare her to Veleda (c. 50-80) or Ganna (c. 60-100).

Outside the Celtic sphere, women such as Tomiris (6th century BC), Artemisia of Caria (5th century BC), Cleopatra (1st century BC) and Zenobia of Palmyra (3rd century AD), from different cultures and periods, led armies and fought with great courage and bravery.
