I am starting to notice how there are no women heroines in the history lessons I learned at school. No history book that I recall, speaks of a SINGLE WOMAN that made something commendable for my country AND all by herself, not "the partner of" who happened to be around.

WTF.

I recently read how our troops put women to walk infront of the soldiers so the enemies would "waste" their ammunition on them, first. The horses were of course given to men so women had to travel LONG distances by foot. And carrying utensils, food, water for the soldiers. But no, NONE of that is mentioned in the official books. WHY??
