Summary: Excellent Overview of Powerful Women
Review: This short but highly informative and expertly written book is an excellent overview of powerful women in history, specifically those who have acted as heads of state. Covered are Cleopatra (Egypt), Queen Isabella (Spain), Elizabeth I (England),Catherine the Great (Russia), Queen Victoria (England), and others. I highly recommend the book for high school and college age readers, many of whom may be surprised at how strong women can be as rulers and administraters.
