Some have compared Saint Greta of Thunberg with Saint Joan of Arc. One immediate dissimilarity is that Saint Greta admits to a form of autism (something not unknown in many families) whereas Saint Joan's voices may have been as a result of a disease contracted by drinking unpasteurised milk. Both however can be characterised by their dislike of dissent. I found the following comment about Saint Joan while digging around and I'd have to say it seemed apposite:

... And personal attacks by the English, who called her rude names and joked that she should return home to her cows, reportedly made Joan’s blood boil. The Maid’s short fuse is evident in transcripts of her court hearings; when a clergyman with a thick regional accent asked what language her voices spoke, for instance, she retorted that they spoke French far better than he did.
