need more recs!!

Hi so today I'm looking for historical (fiction or non-fiction) where we see female mc in power. I'm thinking of series similar to

• The Blue Eye of Horus: The Story of a Queen Dressed as a Man
• Sengoku strays
• The Apothecary Diaries
• Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan: Noukou Giga

Anything would be appreciated! Thank you!

historical

• Bird in Wonderland
• Ooku: The Inner Chambers

I might have other titles with more powerful women but it's historical tag but not in our world... Like fantasy worlds...

Ok, here's a kinda sorted list by types and how much I liked them (descending for each list). Also if titles are in a list above they may also work in a list downstairs.

Because of her title(s):

• Honey, I'm Going on Strike
• The Villainess Is a Marionette
• Records of Linyao
• Legend of Basara
• Your Throne
• Yona: The Girl Standing in the Blush of Dawn
• There Is No Place for Fakes
• My Mom Entered a Contract Marriage
• Cold Game
• Golden Time (follows the story of Light and Shadow)
• The Black-Haired Princess

Because outstanding fighting skills:

• The Golden-Haired Elementalist
• Kingdom (best girl ngl)
• Heroine Survival in an Otome Game (I would suggest to read the novel)
• The One Within the Villainess
• Reiri
• Kino's Journey - the Beautiful World (historical in some city-states iirc)
• The Last Golden Child
• Villainess Level 99 ~I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord~
• My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer
• Light and Shadow
• His Majesty's Secret Heroine

Because of her schemes or her wit:

• The Villainess Lives Again
• Secret Lady
• A Wicked Tale of Cinderella's Stepmom
• The Shadow Empress (I highly recommend reading the novel instead of reading the manhwa adaptation)
• I Didn't Mean to Seduce the Male Lead
• Lady Evony
• The Beast Player, Erin
• Empress Cesia Wears Knickerbockers
• Though I Am an Inept Villainess: Tale of the Butterfly-Rat Swap in the Maiden Court
• I Shall Master This Family
