Nah, the Celts didn't come up with that one, and the Celts & Picts are not the same ethnic group (or weren't until they started intermarrying in more recent history). That's from the legend of Queen Mab, who ostensibly led a matrilineal tribe of Picts to several victories with her unusual tactics. She was very Cleopatra-esque. Not only did she wield armies of nekkid women, but she used to destroy opposing leaders by fucking them to death. Outrageous. She was a redhead too. Definitely a personal role model.
