Lady Godiva was an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman famous for her legendary naked ride through the streets of Coventry. According to legend, she did this to persuade her husband to lower oppressive taxes on the townspeople. She became a symbol of civil liberty, compassion, and protest against injustice. Here are 2 of her quotes:

...whence reissuing, robed and crown'd, To meet her lord, she took the tax away And built herself an everlasting name.
