Description
More than 500 biographies of queens, empresses, prime ministers, presidents, regent rulers, de facto rulers, constitutional monarchs and other women who have taken the reins of a nation's - or empire's - destiny in their hands, are presented here. Entries are arranged alphabetically with geographical divisions and a chronologically arranged geographic index. Many hitherto little-known rulers from around the world and down the centuries are here brought under the spotlight.
