In which I tell you why Isabelle is a bitch.

First of all, I know, anything with AP in front of it sucks.... But hear me out. Isabella ruled a country, was obviously on the rag when she did that whole inquisition thing, and she sent dudes out where "there be dragons." But she did lay the foundation for a unified Spain, and she did it with a certain amount of style; "austere" and "powerful" are two words historians use to describe her.

I think you might need to find the "angle" for your course. "Great bitches in history" might be a good course to follow...Don't even get me started on how cool Elizabeth I was.


Then typhoid Mary....She was an absolute bitch who refused to stop cooking for wealthy families in NYC even after she was determined to be the cause of the plague....actually went after a public health guy with a cleaver. (got to NPR, how stuff works...)
