Warrior Queens: True Stories of Six Ancient Rebels Who Slayed History

This book follows six women rulers who led armies in campaigns for their countries between 1492 BCE and 269 CE. Their stories span ancient societies around the world, including Hatshepsut’s Egypt and Zenobia’s Palmyra. The account focuses on queens who challenged men, fought to rule their kingdoms, and left histories that have often been overlooked. Photographs, black-and-white illustrations, a bibliography, an index, and citations accompany these profiles of ancient women warriors.
