Observaciones y contexto
- Entre altres dones cèlebres que van lluitar contra els romans, podem esmentar a Cleopatra (-69/-30) o Zenobia de Palmira (c-245- c.-290)
- La figura de Budicca seria oblidada fins que durant el regnat d'Elisabeth I va començar a guanyar importància en la història de Britània com a símbol nacional.
- Més tard la reina Victòria també la rescataria per a reafirmar el seu paper com a reina de l'imperi, ja que el nom d'ambdues significava el mateix. El Poeta Llorejat de la reina, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, va escriure un poema titulat Boadicea, i diversos vaixells van portar aquest nom. Entre 1850 i 1860, amb el suport del príncep Albert, Thomas Thornycroft va realitzar una estàtua de Budicca amb les seues dues filles en un carro de cavalls.
- Posteriorment, seria el símbol adoptat per les sufragistes en les marxes de la National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies.
- Per a ampliar podem demanar a l'alumnat que busque altres reines o princeses guerreres en diferents cultures.
