A hero is a prestigious title given to people who stand out for their courage and sacrifice in defending the truth, or having great services for a nation, state and religion.

Almost every region has its own hero, including Aceh, one of the provinces in Indonesia which is famous as an area that is difficult to be conquered by the Dutch colonizers.

Among the many heroes of Aceh, there are several heroes who are female, one of whom is Cut Meutia.

She is a mighty woman who is greatly feared by Dutch soldiers because of her strong influence and has many followers ..

Cut Meutia was born in a village in the interior of North Aceh, she fought to drive out the Dutch invaders with her husband named Tgk Chik Di Tunong, but after her husband was arrested and sentenced to death by the Dutch in 1905, Cut Meutia continued to fight to expel the Dutch army and then marry Pang Naggroe ...

In 1910, Pang Nangroe also died at the hands of the Dutch, to make Cut Meutia continue to fight with his troops in the interior of Aceh.
