#WomensMarchMN (Fandom Version)

More than 60,000 people [revised to 100,000] turned out at the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul for the Minnesota Women's March!
That's 3x 5x the expected number.

I didn't go because I can't take a day off writing, 
and also I'm feeling very introverted right now;
therefore I've extra-enjoyed seeing the round-up of social media.

As I browsed, I screencapped some signs that referred to fandoms or pop culture (or literature or history).
I'm just going to plunk them here in no particular order.

  ^ William Shakespeare — "Though she be but little, she is fierce!"








 One more sign--maybe the most startling and unexpected reference:

The reference is to Judith Slaying Holofernes, a painting by Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi completed between 1614–20, depicting the assassination of the Assyrian general Holofernes by the Israelite hero Judith, from the apocryphal Book of Judith.
