From the New York Times bestselling author of Becoming Queen Victoria—an epic new history of royal women, from Cleopatra to Grace Kelly, that shatters the myths we have built around them.
In this enthralling historical journey, celebrated historian Kate Williams leads us into the world of queens, empresses, princesses, mistresses and ladies-in-waiting. Stories about royal women form some of our most foundational myths about femininity, and yet their legacies have been almost entirely constructed by the words and images of men.
From the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Mesopotamia to the opulent courts of medieval Europe, this book delves deep into the lives of these remarkable 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 Lili’uokulani of Hawaii, and right up to Princess Diana, this is an unmissable history that unlocks why we think about women, politics and power in the ways that we do.
