"Her story may have special resonance today. Thousands of female soldiers - 182,000 as of January - have been deployed to the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Samson's day, the military was officially off-limits to women. Samson pulled off her wartime gender-bending by binding up her chest, bathing privately in rivers, avoiding latrines - and fighting valiantly."
