Very few women in history stand out in the way that Agrippina the Younger does.  She was the granddaughter of the first Roman emperor Octavian, and was a great niece to Emperor Tiberius.  She was Emperor Caligula’s sister, the wife of Emperor Claudius, and she was the mother of Emperor Nero.  This pedigree allowed for her to have immense power, but even so - Agrippina lived in a society ruled by men.  Because of this, she had to fight, scheme, and possibly murder to gain her power.   She was the first woman to transcend the role of the emperor’s wife, as she ruled alongside her son Nero.  But her ambition and need for power led to her downfall.
