Whether for business, pleasure, or holiday reunions, this month means travel. Instead of listening to the guy behind you convincing his girlfriend to join the mile high club, why not get lost in another era with history’s most fascinating women? Icons of style, education, and intelligence, each of these women is a worthy seatmate on any journey.

If you’re headed to boardroom battles, be inspired by Agrippina’s political savvy, which landed her a spot as Empress and the only woman in Rome to have the honorific Augusta. (Rome eventually demonized her; contemporary accounts paint a lifestyle that would make Paris Hilton blush.) (via SheFindsGenevieve)
