I just read an article about a woman called Pearl Cornioley who was initially classed as not having the qualities to be a good leader during WW2. Later on in WWII she led a troop of 3000 French Resistance fighters.

I think it just goes to show that even if people think you can't do something, if in your heart and mind you believe you can do it, you can do whatever it is you want to do.

She was recommended for the Military Cross but was ineligible because she was a woman. She was offered a Civil MBE but refused it because she thought it was unjust. Later on she received a proper MBE.
