You've read of Cassandra, of course, and Medea. Women have often murdered their masters, and the Greeks, of course, made great literature out of it. There are those who say that enslaving captives was a great humane advance. Before slavery, the captives were killed and often eaten. Aristotle, of course, thought that acceptance of being made a slave was a sign of a lack of racial virtue. De las Casas argued for Negro slavery in the Spanish colonies because enslaving Indians caused them to die -- too noble and proud to endure slavery. Have you never wondered that European men killed the men and married American women (e.g. Pocahontas, Sacagawea and my great-great Mary) rather than enslaving them?
