This series of historical accounts profiles strong women who
took extraordinary measures to achieve and maintain
power—including murder, deception, and black magic—examining
the women’s reputations in the context of their eras. Just
how wicked were they? The books allow readers to decide for
themselves if these infamous ladies were indeed heartless
and evil or simply out of touch and making the most of their
circumstances. The richest, most powerful woman in the world, Cleopatra
commanded the East and tamed the West in the time she ruled
Egypt. With both cunning and charm, she fought for her right
to control the Nile and began an affair with Julius Caesar
that would entwine the fates of ancient Egypt and Rome.
Facts combine with illustrations to present an intelligent,
evocative rise-to-ruin story of a leader who, despite her
schemes, lost everything—including her beloved homeland.
