It's International
Women's Day, so let's talk about women.
Let's talk about the fact that mainstream history
has a tendency to treat women's contributions in one of two ways.
Generally speaking, it's either minimised, or mythologised.
Boudica led a revolt of several native tribes
against the Romans in Britain. It was a big thing in its day, and
Camulodunum (among others) certainly noticed, but in the grand scheme
of things it was another provincial rebellion that was put down by
the Roman Empire. The long-term strategy against such events was
romanisation, which continued and succeeded across southern
Britannia, and to variable extents as you went north.
