Poor title.





DuGood
the author creates very good scenes practically movie where they but sadly the majority of this is hearsay
good readers, bad author





Laila Kazemi
The author is too harsh on characters who don't conform to their times feminine values such as Elizabeth of England and Catherine the great. Their reign js minimized in this work.
all right...





Ruby P
The readers are all right but I don’t know how much of Catherine of Russia is true...and Madame Roland isn’t that great but I think it’s the author
Good, not gripping, maybe inaccurate





Spats
Short chapters make a picture of their personalities, but don't much describe the times and places. Some sections are just a blur of royal names





Suzanne Blakley-Oaks
Enjoyed this book immensely. a great way to learn history. Enjoyed the readers as well. Very good and will listen to this again
There Isn't Enough Women





Renai-circulation
Well- How come there's no Hapshepsut, Boudica, Catimandua and other women who kept history alive?
Great reading thank you all so much what you do is appreciate .
