I can't resist any more.

On deciding who was the most influential woman of the millenium, I say it's a
tie between Joan of Arc and Golda Meir.  They both rose from the mud to deal
as equals with kings and great commanders, did things that should have been
impossible, redrew national boundaries, rebuilt the national/ethnic identies
of their people, inspired among other people awe, love, hatred, envy, and
devotion almost to the point of worship, served as national focal points for
religious revival, fulfilled ancient prophecies, and set events in motion
which affect world history to this day and will do do for centuries to come.

How's that?

And let the sky grow dark.
The nock to the cord, the shaft to the ear,
And a foreign king for a mark!
