Trieu Au, referred to as "the Vietnamese Joan of Arc", led a revolt against the Chinese in her country. She and her army won many battles before their final defeat in 248 CE. She once said:
"I will not resign myself to the lot of women, who bow their heads and become concubines. I wish to ride the tempest, tame the waves, kill the sharks. I have no desire to take abuse."
