Joan of Arc faced numerous challenges during her military campaigns, notably gender bias and skepticism from military leaders. Leading the French army against the English during the Hundred Years' War, she struggled to gain support and credibility as a young woman. Tactical challenges included poor logistics and a lack of resources, especially during the Siege of Orléans. Despite these obstacles, her determination and profound spiritual convictions led to several key victories, though she ultimately faced defeat and was captured, highlighting the persistent political rivalries and personal sacrifices faced by women in leadership roles.
