Boudicca/Boadicea was a Celtic Queen around 60AD who inspired and led a rebellion against the army of the Roman Empire. This episode goes over the history of the time period, and her story. She remains an enduring symbol of rebellion against the oppression, defiance of gender roles, and saying fuck you to the patriarchy ;) 
trigger warning: Kelly mispronouncing all kinds of Latin words, and also SA.
