Question
identifying a theme
what theme is supported by this passage?
leadership is overrated.
leadership comes in all forms.
leadership is required for victory.
leadership means nothing without resources.
again and again the romans were defeated, till it almost
emed as if the britons really would succeed in driving
em out of the country. boadicea herself led the soldiers,
couraging them with her brave words. \it is better to
ie with honor than to live in slavery,\ she said. \i am a
woman, but i would rather die than yield. will you follow
me, men?\ and of course the men followed her gladly.
at last the roman leader was so downcast with his many
defeats that he went himself to the british camp, bearing
in his hand a green branch as a sign of peace. when
boadicea was told that an ambassador from the romans
wished to speak to her, she replied proudly, \my sword
alone shall speak to the romans.\ and when the roman
leader asked for peace, she answered, \you shall have
peace, peace, but no submission. a british heart will
choose death rather than lose liberty. there can be peace
only if you promise to leave the country.\

The passage shows Boadicea, a woman, leading soldiers effectively. This challenges the traditional view of leadership (often associated with men in a certain form). It shows that leadership can come from a woman using her words and courage, i.e., leadership comes in different forms.
