Today's useless info: Hortensia was a famous Roman orator of the 1st century BC. She once gave a speech against a proposed tax. The rulers of Rome proposed to tax the property of 1,400 rich women (as a wartime measure). Hortensia gave a public speech saying women should not be taxed without representation. The rulers of Rome partly backed down and agreed to tax only 400 women.
