may be thinking of Joan of Arc, who dressed in men's clothing and persuaded the Dauphin of France to let her lead his army at the Seige of Orleans. A remarkable woman, she was only 16 at the time.
However, she was by no means the first woman to fight in a war, there are accounts of women fighting in battle from ancient times. Boudicaa led an army against the romans for example, and King Alfred the Great's daughter Aefelflaed 'Lady of the Mercians' fought the Danes, and eventually died in battle. Matilda of Tuscany fought on the side of the Pope against the Austrian emperor.
If you are interested in women soliders, I recommend 'Women Warriors: a History' by David E. Jones, which is full of accounts of women soldiers from all nations and all periods of history up to the 20th century.
