This tiny yet majestic volume introduces some 250 queens from around the
world--those who inherited the throne by birth or marriage, or who
seized it for themselves. It begins with queens of the ancient world and
ends with those ruling today, encompassing both household names, like
Cleopatra VII and Elizabeth I, and those who deserve to be better known,
like Margaret I and Nzinga. Each queen is represented by her
portrait--painted, carved, engraved, or photographed--and an interesting
fact about her reign. This Tiny Folio(TM) will be the perfect gift for
the powerful women in your life.
