Enough about girlbosses. I want to see more representation of GirlFailures. I want to see women try so hard and come up so short they have no choice but to start from the very beginning with drastically different world views than which they first began.

Y’all look at this set of Napoleonic playing cards I found by Philipp Otto Runge, early 19th century.

They depict figures from the Napoleonic era including famous military figures and women wearing really pretty empire style.

The first one is supposed to be Murat.
