Zenobia is the most powerful woman you've never heard of.

 

It’s time to change that-

Zenobia is incredibly beautiful like her ancestor

Cleopatra, in book two Zenobia – Challenging a Legend,

she will use seduction to bring

revenge upon her enemies.

Zenobia is highly intelligent, well educated and speaks

five languages. 

•  

Zenobia carries the greatest female military mind in

history. She’ll eventually come into control of the

second most powerful army in the world. 

  

In book two, Zenobia – Challenging a Legend,

 Zenobia learns about a slave trade organization

kidnapping young innocent ladies and Zenobia is

compelled to take action and turns her warrior skills

into piracy.  

Zenobia’s love for justice will bring her into conflict

with the strongest empire on earth, she will set her

sights on the greatest conquest of all – Rome.

What makes a good superhero? And why would Zenobia be a strong superhero?

See our full article on what-makes-a-good-superhero 

Below we've added why we think Zenobia would be a strong superhero. 

 

Zenobia trains as a warrior in Zenobia – Birth of aLegend and becomes elite with her bow and arrow andextremely skilled with a sword.

     In Zenobia – Challenging a Legend, Zenobia disguisesherself to get up close and personal with her enemies.

Zenobia should have been put to death at birth justbecause she was a girl. She was raised pretending to be aboy. That gave her plenty of motivation to prove a girlcan be just as useful as a man.  

 

Zenobia – a true historical figure from 3rd centurySyria, led her armies against Rome. She rode onhorseback wearing full armor.

 

•   Real or fictional superheroes show us how to stand up for what it right.

Zenobia is a great example of what a super hero is andthe world needs to learn about her amazing story. 

Tune in next week as we explore female super heroes.

Zenobia a Superhero

An interesting article on Entertainment weekly:

12 Signs It’s a Joss Whedon Project…

 1. Strong Women

Joss Whedon is known for writing scripts with strong female characters. Whedon’s work has reached cult status, like, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” Also, my all time favorite TV series “Firefly” and the movie “Serenity,” which had plenty of strong women characters.

Whedon’s lists of accomplishments are long with great creative characters, men and women. Right now the entertainment industry is on a big Superhero kick. Wouldn’t it be great to have more novels, comic books, and movies that have strong female Superheroes?

AH HA! I FOUND ONE.  Shannon Hale, my favorite author and movie screenwriter wrote recently about loving Superheroes growing up but not having enough female superheroes.  I completely understand. Check out Shannon’s new book coming out March 4th called “Dangerous” that has a female Superhero.

I think we need to support great projects like this to let the world know we want more. See Shannon Hale’s blog at: http://oinks.squeetus.com/2014/02/a-dangerous-history.html

To me, Zenobia would be the perfect Superhero, especially since she’s a real person in history.  I’m always surprised that she’s been overlooked in the history books. Her story is unknown but what a great story it is. It’s time to get to know Zenobia. She’s a strong woman who stands up for justice. She conquered Egypt, battled alongside her troops, and challenged Rome. Now that is real Superhero status.

Would you like to see a movie about Zenobia the Superhero?

If I could do the casting for the movie about Zenobia the Superhero, I would get Lorrisa Julianus to play our lovely butt kicking Zenobia.  She’s already well acquainted with the part of Zenobia.  Lorrisa Julianuscreated Zenobia the Musical and did an excellent job playing Zenobia.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could get Joss Whedon,

Shannon Hale, and Lorrisa Julianus on board to write a

movie script for the Zenobia series?  I’d love to see

Zenobia on the big screen someday. For now, I’m going

to enjoy Zenobia the book series by Russ Wallace and

read about how she tries to change the world for the

better.

So what do you say, would you like to see more female

superheroes?
