Regina: A
New History of Women and Power
English
edition by Kate Williams (Author) Format: Hardcover
In this
new book, celebrated historian Kate Williams leads us into the world of queens,
empresses, princesses, mistresses and ladies-in-waiting, as she unveils their
hidden stories and remarkable achievements in this enthralling historical
journey.
From the
ancient civilisations of Egypt and Mesopotamia to the opulent courts of
medieval Europe, this book delves deep into the lives of royal women, lifting
the veil on both their trials and triumphs as they navigate political intrigue,
family rivalries and personal sacrifices. From Hatshepsut and Cleopatra,
through Tudor queens Catherine of Aragon and Lady Jane Grey, via Queen
Victoria''s contemporaries Yaa Asentewaa of Ghana and Queen Lilioukulani of
Hawaii and right up to Princess Diana, this is an inspiring celebration of the
oft-overlooked women who played pivotal roles in shaping history, and can teach
us much about the place of royal women in society today.
