Trung+sisters

The Trung sisters were two women of the Viet people who led revolts in Vietnam against Chinese rule in the post-classical period. Daughters of a powerful lord, sisters Trung Trac and Trung Nhi led an army of 80,000 that drove out the Chinese in 40 C.E. They were exceptions to the general rule of female oppression in the Far East and set the stage for Vietnam's long tradition of rebelling against foreign rule.
