In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Crone Peace Brigade 

They call themselves the Granny Peace Brigade or Raging Grannies. When they protested at a military recruiting station last year, they were arrested for disorderly contact. Now these women, ages 60 to 80-something, are going on trial. I say power to the Crones! (Here's a piece by Cindy Sheehan about it all.) Takes a lot of guts to risk jail at any age but particularly when you're almost 90. I hope they get a lot of press. I hope their stand wakes up some people, including Darth Vader.
