  2. 🎀 The Latin Queens 🎀 The Latin Queens are a real all girl gang that started in Chicago during the 1960s, as the female branch of the Latin Kings. Later, they spread to other cities, including Los Angeles. These girls joined together for protection, power, and respect in neighborhoods where gangs were everywhere. They wear gold and black, and use symbols like a queen’s crown and the five point star to show who they are. The Latin Queens have their own rules, leaders, and rank, like presidents and warlords. They call each other sisters and believe in loyalty and strength. In L.A, they sometimes work with others gang, but still keep their own identity. Some of them got involved in selling drugs, fighting rivals, and doing crimes to survive as dealing with drugs, guns or even chopping stolen cars. Others tried to help their community or teach younger girls to stay strong. Even though they live in a male dominated world, the Latin Queens stand out as a powerful group of women holding their own on the streets.

  4. In feudal Japan, women of the samurai class—known as onna‑bugeisha—were expected to manage households, raise children, oversee estates, and, if necessary, defend their families using weapons such as the naginata and the kaiken dagger, trained in tantojutsu for self-preservation and honor protection. Figures like Nakano Takeko, who led a female militia during the Boshin War, and Tomoe Gozen, a legendary warrior who commanded troops in the Genpei War, demonstrate this capacity for direct martial agency even in a gendered warrior culture.
