warrior queen

Female combat sovereign

A warrior queen is a female monarch who personally leads military forces or is celebrated for martial prowess.

The term evokes historical and legendary figures—Boudica, the Amazons, various African queens who commanded armies.

In contemporary use, warrior queen often describes any powerful, fierce woman: She walked into that boardroom like a warrior queen.
