The last empress of France, Eugénie de Montijo:
She ruled France when her husband could not. She made huge societal changes: schools for girls, hospitals, the fashion industry that became "Haute couture" creating jobs for thousands, and this at a time when women were 2nd class citizens at best. Her story is fascinating, told by my wife and Petie Kladstrup of "Wine & War" fame.

“Israel realises that … Palestinian women and girls carry the promise of the continuity of Palestinian life, and therefore they are being deliberately killed, and they’re being deliberately exterminated.”

Baby formula has also been deliberately prevented from entering Gaza by Israel, which is reminiscent of the tactics used by Nazi Germany in the siege of Stalingrad during World War II.

"All Palestinians, men, boys, girls and women are being subjected to this genocidal enterprise in a very sadistic, unprecedented and relentless manner, but within that … women and girls are deliberately being targeted by Israel because they are Palestinian and because of the reproductive capacity."
