Mary Seacole (1805-1881) was a doctoress from Kingston Jamaica, who understood the genesis and treatment of Cholera. Rejected by Florence Nightingale, she sailed alone to the Crimea, to care for the British troops fighting there.

The Gorgoneion, the precursor to the Gorgon, was a symbol used on weapons. It was hairy with fangs and screeched.
The gender was female in the written texts, but as you can see here it looks neuter or masculine. from my new book Monstrous Women.

In Greek mythology, many of the monsters were women, why would that be? Monstrous Women re-examines these myths surviving 2000 years of patriarchal religion. The finds are surprising.
