The Spanish legion … the most heavy-metal outfit there is. They have to wear their blouses buttoned-up, get to wear tattoos and the men are required to grow bears. I seem to remember reading that until recently they were even required to grow full beards. An army of lumberjacks.

"Death battalions" military formations, consisting exclusively of women, created in 1917 by the Russian Provisional Government, mainly for the propaganda purpose - to raise patriotic mood in the army and to shame by their own example male soldiers who refuse to fight.
Mareea Bothckareva, Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst and women of the Battalion of Death, 1917.

Women's battalions of death. In the ranks. Summer 1917
After the October Revolution, the Leninist Council of People's Commissars began to liquidate the remnants of the Russian Imperial Army and disbanded all the "shock units". Women's shock formations were disbanded on November 30, 1917 by the Military Council of the old War Ministry. Shortly before that, on November 19, an order was issued on the promotion of female military personnel of volunteer units to officers for military merit. However, many volunteers remained in their units until January 1918 and beyond. Some of them moved to the Don and took part in the struggle against Bolshevism in the ranks of the White movement.

A curious artifact of the tank crew professions prestige ranking (from lower to higher - drivers, loaders, gunners) is that you could correlate pretty well how good looking were the tank school instructors (almost exclusively females) with their respective specializations. Gunnery department got all the hot ones; weapons, munitions,hydraulics, comms etc. got the OK ones. Engine, suspension and driving... dear god.
Also, as a side note, seeing pictures of soldiers leaning or hanging on the main gun make me cringe... there are things which you just don't do FFS...
