She

I used to love this one.

"She replied that she would only marry he who could defeat her in battle. The messenger scoffed at her foolishness: “Why do you want to suffer the indignity of being dragged by the hair to your master? How can a woman alone defeat those who have vanquished the gods? They sent one asura after another to fetch her until the great Devi was so enraged that Kali, goddess of destruction, sprang forth from her brow. Laughing, Kali devoured the armies, shoving them into her hideous mouth, and quickly decapitated her foes."

Wah! This is the culture that saw Her..tried to subjugate her.. but She emerges every every year in the waters of Ganges and the eyes of Bengali women.
