They include Catherine the Great, Elizabeth I, Isabella of Spain, the Rani of Jhansi, and the formidable Queen Jinga of Angola. With Boadicea as the definitive example, her female champions from other ages and civilisations make a fascinating and awesome assembly. Yet if Boadicea's apocryphal chariot has ensured her place in history, what are the myths that surround the others? And how different are the democratically elected if less regal warrior queens of recent times: Indira Ghandi and Golda Meir? This remarkable book is much more than a biographical selection. It examines how Antonia Fraser's heroines have held and wrested the reins of power from their (consistently male) adversaries. 1034037 1988 The Warrior Queens (Women in History) total:189|5:44|4:66|3:61|2:14|1:4| 189 699 486 17 2 1 false false Thu Apr 24 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jan 29 12:01:55 -0800 2008 Thu Apr 24 09:49:38 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 1 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Feb 27 18:01:15 -0800 2009 Sun Apr 19 11:29:16 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Jan 13 17:32:09 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 17:33:45 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue Feb 03 13:23:11 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 03 13:24:24 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jun 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 19:33:38 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 11:22:18 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Mar 13 00:00:00 -0800 1993 Tue Jan 20 18:20:49 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 20 18:25:04 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 14 16:51:31 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 19 07:14:05 -0800 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Feb 24 21:13:07 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 21:13:21 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 07 11:58:03 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 07 12:00:01 -0700 2008 New York Times Magazine 9/28/08: "Read the book by Antonia Fraser called The Warrior Queens.
