(Book)

"Here is a royal entourage of queens, empresses, prime ministers, presidents, regents, constitutional monarchs, and other women rulers of the world's empires, nations, and tribes. Their readable biographies cover each ruler's victories and defeats, foibles and triumphs, life and times."--BOOK JACKET. "Women Rulers throughout the Ages: An Illustrated Guide is based on the author's Women Who Ruled. Many entries have been substantially revised, expanded, and updated. More than 200 new entries have been added, covering individuals who came to power in the past decade, and there is recently unearthed information about little-known rulers in Africa, the Middle East, and Central America. The entries are presented alphabetically within geographical divisions and are supported by bibliographic notes and a country-by-country chronological index."--BOOK JACKET
