An Argive lady seeing king Pyrros of Ipiros about to skewer her son with his lance during a streetfight in hellenistic Argos whacked him with an accuratly thrown rooftile.
Thespian an Platean women aided their mens fight to throw out Thebans that had sneaked in their cities by throwing rooftiles and flower pots at the Theban phalanx.
You said it right madam rooftiles are appropriate for a Lady!
Women of Phokis are mentioned by Pausanias to fight viciously against the Celts at 279 B.C. as psiloi.
Hope I enlightened you.
Kind regards
Stefanos
