Known as the wife of...Ulysses, her name is synonmous with marital fidelity. But she was so much more and it was so surprisingly progressive for a white, blind man to have written a story dating back to antiquity about a woman that could rule a country on her own, outwit all of her suitors and be a single mom. In essence, this woman was a badass.

Thank you Fabienne Demal for sharing your hero.
