Who needs a Prince Charming when you're busy running the world? You might think all queens do the same things: hand out medals, eat off gold plates, wave a lot and so on. Not these queens! Whether they ruled 2,000 years ago - or if they're called by a different title such as chieftess or empress - each made difference to their lands and their people, but as you'll see not all in the same way. Take a look they're fabulous!
Discover the stories of 15 remarkable women who shaped history in Fabulously Feisty Queens: 15 Bright, Bold and Brilliant Women Who Have Ruled The World. From legendary empresses and fierce warrior queens to daring pirates and contemporary rulers, this book celebrates the strength and influence of these extraordinary female leaders. With fascinating stories and interesting facts included for each.
More than just beauty and elegance, explore the intelligence, courage, and brilliance that have defined the world’s most influential female rulers across history.
Written by Valerie Wilding. Illustrated by Pauline Reeves. Foreword by Lucy Worsley, Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces and historian.
