Queens Women in Power through History by Dr Phyllis G Jestice

 The author studies how queens have dealt with power from ancient times to the present, with boxes containing potted biographies of many of them. There are the more famous, powerful ones like Elizabeth 1, but the book also includes little-known queens from all over the world. This is an interesting book, beautifully illustrated and thoroughly researched. I found it to be more of a reference book or a book that you dip into, rather than one to read straight through.

I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
