Nice to see that Pola Negri was determined to get into character as Catherine the Great in the 1924 silent film Forbidden Paradise. In a plot centred on revolutions, rebellions & romance she turned to Women Who ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy for source material #womenwhoruledtheworld

Empress Elizaveta of Russia was renowned for her lively court. But, sometimes, you just want to read & she’s loving Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy. Now, if only she can get everyone to keep the noise down. Thanks for the endorsement Elizaveta! #womenwhoruledtheworld

Sounds lovely. She went back and taught there too.

You can’t have read enough about her. It shines out of her notebooks, diaries and letters.

❤️ l love this photograph of Sylvia Plath. She was full of vitality, energy and enthusiasm for life.

When not nailing heads onto spikes or ordering witchcraft ordeals, Ranavalona I of Madagascar liked to read… just not the Bible, as that was banned (to the horror of Queen Victoria). Here she is with her favourite book, Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy #womenwhoruledtheworld

Sorry Robert Dudley, in England there will be but one mistress & no master. It looks like Elizabeth I has been reading Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy, including stories of some horrendous royal marriages. Unsurprisingly, she’s not keen to share power #womenwhoruledtheworld

They’ve earned those awards and accolades. Let them have their moment.

Why do people enjoy reading historical fiction so much? And why can it rouse such strong responses?

Yes, this is really interesting. I think it’s because fiction is written by writers. They are immersed in the art of writing and have a tool kit of tricks to draw you in, whereas non-fiction can be dry. It’s so much easier when you have a character as a bridge too.

Why do people enjoy reading historical fiction so much? And why can it rouse such strong responses?

“This could've been a dry-as-dust recitation, but it's anything but, being infused with the author's warmth and clear -interest- in the period and in her subjects.”

Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, world’s most recent child queen, & Queen Victoria look as though they are enjoying each other’s company immensely. Luckily, they had both brought a book to read. Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy in which they both feature #womenwhoruledtheworld

Thank you ☺️

Michael Praed or Jason Connery?

I’m enjoying your marketing 😂

Catherine the Great thought her husband Peter childish & boring. She found that the audiobook of Women Who Rules the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy, which launched today, drowned him out nicely

Oh, me too, so much!
