Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

hidden-midden: honeyspider: WOMEN OF HISTORY | TRIEU THI TRINH (225–248) (Kathy Uyen) Triệu Thị Trinh was a Vietnamese warrior who managed for some time to successfully resist the Kingdom of Wu during their occupation of Vietnam. She is quoted as saying ‘I’d like to ride storms, kill sharks in the open sea, drive out the aggressors, reconquer the country, undo the ties of serfdom, and never bend my back to be the concubine of whatever man.’ In Vietnam she remains a celebrated heroine and many streets are named after her in the main cities. “I’d like to ride storms, kill sharks in the open sea, drive out the aggressors, reconquer the country, undo the ties of serfdom, and never bend my back to be the concubine of whatever man.” (Nguyen Khac Vien, Vietnam: A Long History) FUCKING BADASS. REAL LIFE SUPERHERO.
