bedlamsbardI had this revelation the other day when I was working on the second draft of my Spenser prospectus, and babbled about it a bit on Twitter, but that was while I was on my self-imposed 24-hour journal hiatus and couldn't post about it. (I don't post or reply to comments on a fic for twenty-four hours after I've posted it. I don't know, it's a thing.)
One Girl Revolution (lyrics) totally works as Britomart's theme. I am mentally vidding Book III and her bit in Book V to it as we speak. And some of the other women in The Faerie Queene work as well. (Not that Edmund Spenser's an awesome feminist or something, he's a sixteenth-century Englishman, what do you expect? And Britomart herself is problematic in a lot of ways, but still pretty damn awesome.)
And, of course, link to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
arefadedaway's One Girl Revolution vid, which always wins points for me for including Susan as well as Lucy and the White Witch. (You would be surprised at how many awesome women vids will include Lucy but not Susan.)
