Queen Elizabeth's speech at the Spanish Armada was surely one of the greatest and most passionate speech's i have ever read. Elizabeth is such an amazing figure in history and now that i know more about what was happening around her at that time, it makes her ambition and courage that much more amazing. She points out that fact that she is a women and is of a weak and feeble body, but she has the heart of a king. She doesn't sit and dictate to her people, but she asks how she can be of service in making her country better, she lets the people know she will be a general and a leader. She had much confidence in her people. She was England's savior.
She never let her guard down and always stood for what was right for england, not necessarily herself.

I think when people think of powerful women in history Queen Elizabeth's name nearly always arises. She is not afriad to rule like a true leader, gender aside. She is the type of person who shculd be a role model. She has a warrior heart and spirit.
I agree. I myself was moved by Queen Elizabeth's speech to her troops. She was a hell of a leader in a time when women really had no rights at all. I did find it sad that she referred to herself as having the body of a weak and feeble woman. I'm thinking "So What! You're the Queen! You have the power!". But she did follow it up with saying that she had the heart of a king and she proved it. That is the important part.
