    Some time ago, I asked a question about national myths and legends of women warriors who had defended their countries. What early 19th-century Spanish woman qualifies as one of these figures, what great artist depicted her, and what famed poet described her courage?

    Question #81185. Asked by lanfranco. (May 29 07 8:29 PM)

    		Would you mean Agustina de Aragon? Goya painted her and Byron wrote about her.

    		That's the lady, qp.

    Now, let's see if I can heft this thing -- Oof! Would you like a silver cannonball?

    		Muchas gracias. I'll use it as a gazing ball in my garden.

    Many countries and cultures have legends, either mythical or based on fact, of women who fought in battle to defend their people from an enemy. Can you name three -- or more -- such women, their nations, and the eras in which they lived? (Factual women preferred, but interesting myths welcomed.)

    This painting of a couple ensconced in a cockleshell amidst a raging storm is a testament to the painter’s unrequited love. The woman in question was the child of an artist, wife of a great composer, then of an architect, then of a novelist/poet. What was her complete name?

    A while back, I asked a question about a possibly mythical dispute between two artists regarding a certain color. The putative result of that dispute has a "companion" in the U.S. museum in which it hangs, one by quite a different artist and from a later era but depicting a young lady related to a famous woman poet. What is the painting (under its best-known title), who was its young subject, and who was her celebrated relative?
