Zenobia, a disliked girl's name? Have these uncultured clods never heard of Queen Zenobia of Palmyra, who led a revolt that very nearly cost Rome the Eastern part of their empire? A figure of legend who inspired multiple operas? That Zenobia?

These are created from a blend of two pictures, one of which was a portrait of Zenobia, the ruler of Palmyra during the Roman period.

Zenobia of Palmyra, the first named Arab Queen, deserves a mention also:
Zenobia of Palmyra, of course, can't be skipped in Women's History Month either. Like the Kahina she is included in Roman/European history and not in a broader Arab or Amazigh history because these people in life saw themselves this way. Zenobia was, also, the first major figure in the Roman Empire to rule by herself as a woman since Cleopatra VII and carved out the first Arab state that was self-governing, not merely a satellite state like the Ghassanid and Lakhmanid kingdoms.
She is also one of the secular figures seized on by Syrian nationalism as a hero of the Syrian state and one of the few figures of the 'Time of Ignorance' considered acceptable in Islamic Syria.
