The “Heroine” series presents extremely brave and courageous women who have influenced the fate of many people. What more prescient exemplification of this screed is Joan of Arc.

Joan of Arc (French: Jeanne d’Arc) is a patron saint of France, honored as a defender of the French nation for her role in the siege of Orléans and her insistence on the coronation of Charles VII of France during the Hundred Years’ War. Stating that she was acting under divine guidance, she became a military leader who transcended gender roles and gained recognition as a savior of France.
