review:
'Her Majesty: An Illustrated Guide to the Women who Ruled the World' by Lisa Graves is a look at famous and infamous rulers. It shows the kinds of influence and power they had.

The women featured in the book are from many countries and times starting with Hapshepsut of Egypt and going all the way to Tsarina Alexandra of Russia. Each woman gets a full page painting and a short bio including their greatest achievement. For Queen Victoria, this was surviving six assassination attempts. For Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi, it was leading her people in fighting against their oppressors.

This is book full of facts and great pictures. It doesn't include every woman ruler, but it includes a very interesting selection.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Xist Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
