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.
