Mary Magdalene

Mary Magdalene or sometimes called Mary of Magdala is believed to be a woman who traveled with Jesus as one of his followers. She is also said to be one of his witnesses at his crucifixion and its aftermath. However many people also believe that she got to know men very well with pay. Many recently, there has been no proven evidence about her dealings or if she ever really existed. On the other hand, there are individuals who are certain that in the bible it was not a sinner but was a great woman…

Pope Joan

If the notion of a female pop sounds somewhat fabricated, that because it probably is. Pope Joan supposedly became the pope in 855 AD, during a time when most women weren’t allowed to anything at all. Despite that she was the leader of the Catholic Church, many scholars have questioned her existence altogether. What’s even more fascinating is that two years after becoming pope, she got pregnant and was either banished or murdered…depending on the source.
