520    What was it like to live as a queen in ancient Egypt, or 
       as an Amazon warrior in western Africa? African Princess 
       tells the stories of six remarkable royal women and the 
       eras in which they lived, from 1473 B.C. to the present. 
       Some lived in great luxury; others lived in exile as 
       freedom fighters. The rise of the slave trade and the 
       arrival of European colonists unsettled the entire 
       continent and forced rulers to find ways to govern and 
       protect their kingdoms. Consequently, many of these royal 
       women ruled in extremely difficult times, marked by palace
       intrigue, foreign invasion, and harrowing adventure. 
       Richly illustrated with portraits and archival material, 
       African Princess reveals the lives of these powerful women
       to be as complex, rich, and intriguing as Africa itself.
