Many you know that Benedict Arnold was a traitor to the British, but it's a lot more complicated than that. There us a lot of speculation that it was his wife that converted him to the British cause.
Now blast forward to George Washington and Alexander Hamilton trying to get Benedict Arnold. They go to his house (but Arnold had already fled) and knock on the door. Who answers? A topless Mrs. Arnold with a baby. She's raving madly about how "they're going to kill my baby" and Washington and Hamilton have no idea what to do, so they let her go.
She was fucking acting guys, as a theater kid I scream "QUEEN!" but as an American I scream "Bitch!"
So yeah, women have a humongous impact on history.
