In episode 28 we have ninjas! Revenge! Cities burning to the ground! Women as leaders! Women as warriors! All the things!
Laurel tells the Smoke Circle about the Celtic Iceni Queen Boudicca (aka Boudica) whose quest for revenge against the Roman Empire is something out of a Quentin Tarantino film. KT follows it up with the story of Mochizuki Chiyome, the woman who led a group of 300 female ninjas...and they were GOOD at it too!
