The ‘Reinas y Cortesanas’ collection presents biographies of women who have aspired to or held positions of authority and were a dynamic presence in their constituents’ lives throughout history.  Each book recounts its subject’s life candidly and succinctly.  The authors place these exceptional women firmly within the context of their historical era.  The bibliography found at the end of each book gives the reader ample room to supplement their knowledge on the subject.  As an added bonus, in Yehonala, the author includes photos and a list of individuals in the Dowager Empress’s court that details their status. 

These books are educational and refreshingly entertaining. Readers get a glimpse of life from the point of view of the main character and from the people they encountered.
