This week, Max and Allison talk about two women who put everything on the line for their countries. The first, a queen celebrated in India to this day, rode into battle with a sword in each hand and her son tied behind her back; the second, long time mistress and partner to Simón Bolivar in his revolutionary cause, earned herself the title the liberator of liberators and eventually the Order of the Sun: Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi and Manuela Sáenz. /
