ANSWER: Deborah 

"Villagers in Israel would not fight; they held back until I, Deborah, arose, until I arose, a mother in Israel." - Judges 5:7 

According to the Bible, Deborah was a prophetess, a judge of Israel and a spark plug who made things happen. She joined forces with Barak to successfully lead the Israelites to a spectacular victory over king of Canaan and the Canaanites who had been suppressing them. In a joyful victory song, she used the term 'mother in Israel' to describe herself, as per Judges 5:7. (used in the NKJV and the NIV.)
