'A breath-taking history of female sovereignty' -- Alison Weir
'Gripping and beautifully crafted' -- Tracy Borman
'Filled with fascinating figures from history' -- Gareth Russell
These are the stories of the female kings: women who risked everything, sometimes unwillingly, to find their place in a man's world.
Female kings have always been a rarity, an oddity, or an undesirable outcome. In almost all places throughout the world a male ruler was preferred to a woman, with female inheritance vanishingly rare and frequently disputed. In spite of this, women have secured crowns - or fought for them - over several millennia.
From the lush oases of Ancient Egypt to the cherry blossomed lands of Japan, the machinations of the Tudor court to the far reaches of Pacific Island kingdoms, Women Who Ruled the World is an expansive and comprehensive history of female royal power.
Covering five millennia of global history, renowned historian Elizabeth Norton weaves together the stories of women rulers throughout the ages. Establishing beloved and already celebrated figures amongst those who have been left in the margins of history, Norton peels away the layers of time, geography and culture to reveal what it was to be a woman who ruled.

So I much prefer her other books She Wolves and England's Queens and the wonderful Elfrida biography.
This is just a factual book with a whole lot less Queens than you'd expect to be included in a book that spans back 5,000 years so that was a disappointment too.
And as for the front cover it's awful!
Not at all interesting for reading as a book but rather a book for dipping into and much respect for Elizabeth Norton's research.
