Why the name Boudica?
When thinking about building a social site for smart, dynamic women, we needed a strong name. Boudica seemed the perfect choice. As the name of an important female historical figure, we felt it would be a good strong name for the site.
Boudica was the Queen of the Iceni tribe in England before the Romans arrived. In AD60 she led a rebellion against the Romans. After Boudica's husband died, the Romans treated Boudica and her daughters badly. The Iceni tribe attacked a Roman garrison by surprise and then headed for London, taking on the Ninth Region.
In London, Boudica's tribe burned buildings and killed those left behind. They fought a major battle with the Roman army but the Britons had no chance against the vast quantity of Roman troops.
There is a statue of Boudica on the Embankment in London, in her chariot with her two daughters charging through the ranks.
