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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom 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, \u003ci\u003eWomen Who Ruled the World\u003c\/i\u003e is an expansive and comprehensive history of female royal power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCovering 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Footnote Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51456663454043,"sku":"9781804441138","price":40.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/women-who-ruled-the-world","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
