Female kings have always been a rarity, an oddity, or an undesirable outcome. Across the globe, a male ruler has been preferred to a woman, with female inheritance vanishingly rare and frequently disputed. Despite this, women have secured crowns – or fought for them – over the millennia.
From the familiar – Boudicca, Cleopatra, Catherine the Great – to the unfamiliar – Urracca of Castile and Leon, Kushite Queen Shanakdakhete, Lili’uokalani of Hawaii – Women Who Ruled the World covers an exhilarating expanse of time and space as Elizabeth Norton tells the story of five thousand years of queenship – female kings, women who risked everything, sometimes unwillingly, to find a place in a man’s world.
