Queen Boudicca proved the strength of women when women carried little respect. Boudicca commented during her revolution that it was rather rare for the Britons to follow a female warrior leader (Wood, 338). After all, during her time women were rarely involved in leadership positions. Her gender was just one more obstacle Boudicca had to overcome to bring her people justice. Second, the Roman army did not have any female soldiers, while the Celtic army did. The Roman general Suetonius is recorded as having made a snide remark about the women among Celtic

In chapter 11 Walter didn’t want to work at the garment center. Walter had wanted to be a lawyer at the age nine. Walter would simply memorize a passage and recited it. A coach had asked Walter to come for track his junior year. In chapter 12 Walter missed three weeks of school. Walter lusted three weeks before he stopped going to school again. In chapter 10 the idea of what it meant to be poor changed in the late sixties. Most of Walter life had been divided between school, reading, and ball playing. The second burden of that summer came in the form of Walter grandfather.

The governor, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, was occupied with troubles in the north, which caused his to overlook Boudicca and the growing threat in the south. It was such as shock to Nero, that he almost ordered a withdrawal from Britain. This did not occur as Suetonius took punitive measure against the Celts; Nero later replaced him with a less harsh governor. As Roman society was male dominated and women were not associated with business or politics, Boudicca’s revolt confused them as she showed women could be brave, determined and a leader to men. The Romans found dealing with a powerful woman difficult as they lived in a patriarchy society, and believed she “possessed of greater intelligence than often belongs to women”4.

Men in the tragedies need to proves that they are superior to all other men and securing the beautiful woman that everyone is chasing is a frequent method. Ovid’s story of Atlanta portrays men competing for a bride. Atlanta agrees to marry the man who is able to beat her in a race.By being the fastest and most athletic, which are qualities associated highly with masculinity, the boys competing for Atlanta are showing who is manliest. Not only must the potential groom beat out all other men, but he must be able to outrun, or overtake, his bride.
