Remember the tales of warriors and queens
Hatshepsut, looking damn good in a beard
Let not these heroines go unseen
Boudicca in her chariot fearlessly careens
Romans in her path either flee or get speared
Remember the tales of warriors and queens
Eleanor of Aquitaine, kingmaker behind the scenes
In England and France she was a lady revered
Let not these heroines go unseen
Alva Belmont of the Gilded Age, a woman of means
A proud suffragette even while society sneered
Remember the tales of warriors and queens
Claudette Colvin thrown in jail at just fifteen
In the fight for civil rights she pioneered
Let not these heroines go unseen
These remarkable women and many in between
Into history’s murky depths somehow disappeared
Remember the tales of warriors and queens
Let not these heroines go unseen
