Miriam Kate Williams, or Vulcana (1874 – 946), was a Welsh strongwoman -and hero!
At age 13, she stopped a runaway horse in Bristol.
She rescued 2 children from drowning in River Usk in 1901.
On 1921 the Garrick Theatre in Edinburgh caught fire and she risked her life to save another act's horses.

In 1910, Vulcana alerted the police of the disappearance of her friend, Cora Crippen, ultimately leading to the investigation, prosecution and execution of her husband and femicide.
This is Cora, who performed as Belle Elmore.
This is revictimising and it is awfully misogynystic.
While Cora has zero and Vulcana 6, the perpetrator gets 15 languages of visibility! And he is considered of high importance for Wikimedia!
