Krátky popis
Female kings have always been a rarity, an oddity, or an
undesirable outcome. In almost all places on the globe a male ruler
was preferred to a woman, with female inheritance vanishingly rare
and frequently disputed. In spite of this, women have secured
crowns - or fought for them - over several millennia.This
scintillating book tell the story of the female kings: women who
risked everything, sometimes unwillingly, to find a place in a
man's world. Women Who Ruled the World covers an exhilarating
expanse of time and space: from the lush oases of Ancient Egypt to
the cherry blossomed islands of Japan, from the 19th century Queens
of Madagascar who defied French attempts to colonise them to Tamar
the Great, who presided over a golden age in Georgia. From the
familiar - Boudicca, Cleopatra, Catherine to Great - to the
unfamiliar - Urracca of Castile and Leon, Kushite queen
Shanakdakhete, Lili'uokalani of Hawaii.This ground-breaking book
casts a global eye over five millennia of queenship, a truly
remarkable feat of historical skill and breadth of knowledge.
