Sophie von Anhalt-Zerbst journeyed to Russia at 14 to marry Grand Duke Peter, converting to Russian Orthodoxy and becoming the historic Catherine. Louise of Prussia, known as the Queen of Hearts, wielded significant influence through her husband, King Frederick Wilhelm III, despite holding no official power. Contrasting these noble figures, Sophie Scholl, a key figure in the German resistance against Hitler during WWII, held neither power nor influence but is celebrated for her courageous stand against injustice, ultimately paying the ultimate price for her principles.
