1. Shi Jianqiao
First on the list of female assassins is the Chinese woman Shi Jianqiao, who is remembered for killing just one person who hurt her family and not for killing a lot of others. As punishment for commanding an opposition army against him in 1925, Chinese warlord Sun Chuanfang murdered Shi Jianqiao’s father and displayed the head in public.
Before shooting Sun Chuanfang three times, Shi Jianqiao had pursued him for ten years. She never thought of running away; instead, she stayed to defend herself with flyers, and when it was decided that her behavior was an illustration of filial piety, she was released rather than punished. I guess that means justice has been done.
