WARRIOR QUEENS
A wide ranging series of biographical studies of female rulers who have defied the stereotype of the gentler sex to stamp their mark on history. Lady Antonia’s subjects range from Boudicca to Margaret Thatcher; and from Isabella of Spain to Golda Meir and Indira Gandhi.
In this colourful and wide-ranging study, royal biographer Lady Antonia Fraser at last gives their full due to the women she calls ‘the warrior queens’ - female rulers who courageously overturned the conventions and limitations expected of their sex and stamped their indelible mark on history. Her subjects range from Boudicca - the queen of the Iceni who dared to defy the might of Rome; to Isabella who, with her husband Ferdinand, drove the Moors from Spain; Elizabeth I, of course, is here; along with Catherine the Great of Russia and the Rani of Jhansi, the Indian ruler who fought the British in the Indian Mutiny. But Lady Antonia does not confine herself to Royal rulers - her warrior queens include such modern political heroines as that trio of militant Prime Ministers Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi - and Margaret Thatcher. This is a rip-roaring read for those who have always agreed with Rudyard Kipling that ‘the female of the species is more deadly than the male’.
