Since Boudicca didn't live in a patriarchy and in a different culture where it was common for women to fight I don`t think it is a valid example. But jean darc is a valid example, i think Elizabeth queen of England lead her troops if I am correct?. (at least as general on the battlefield not on the front-line?)

Jeanne d'Arc never was the ruler of France, "just" a military commander.

Unfortunately I can't agree, partially because this has been suggested to death.

because it would be awesome.
That is just bad reasoning... Please don't use that again.

K'abel, Khutlun, Aetheflaed, Boadicca, Emilia Plater, Jean de arc?

They're are all out of time period (even Emilia Plater's service started later).

You could at least give examples that happened between 1444 and 1821.

Check this, as you can see there was indeed female leaders during this time period, however they mostly defended cities and because leaders can't even defend cities it is kind of pointless.

Also if female rulers could be converted to generals there wouldn't be any difference between genders.

It would be nice to see a small chance to get yourself a female general or admiral, maybe like 5-10% or through an event.
There are such events in Women in History, however they aren't random.
