Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. Read about a third. Mildly interesting- 50 short (5 page) chapters on the iives of sundry women rulers. Not sure it was a good idea to include Queen of Sheba (whom Gold goes on to tell us never existed at all.) Didnt get as far as Lady Jane Grey: but was she 'remarkable' or a 'ruler'? I'm not sure much info sticks in such short accounts- might as well read encyclopedia entries - so didnt pursue it further. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
'Poisoners', 'whores', 'witches' and 'murderers' - or so their enemies claimed. From Queen Nefertiti of Egypt, to the villainous Catherine de Medici and her flying squadron, to England's 'Gloriana' Elizabeth I, and the modern phenomenon of female prime ministers - Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher and Benazir Bhutto - Claudia Gold looks at three and a half thousand years of history to examine the lives of fifty of the world's most exceptional rulers - all of them women. Each biographical profile sets its subject clearly in the culture and context of its time, enabling the author not only to tell the stories of these 50 astonishing women, but also to provide a fascinating and informative alternative social history.
