The Greatest Women in World History

Natalia Basovskaya’s new audio book is an exciting account of the incredible destinies of women who left a vivid mark on the history of ancient civilizations and modern states. The listener will embark on an amazing adventure that begins three and a half thousand years ago on the banks of the Nile, where the first woman-pharaoh Hatshepsut ruled, and later—beautiful Queen Cleopatra, who captivated Roman commanders with her beauty and mind. The madness of the Spanish queen Juana, the bloodthirstiness of Mary Tudor, and the lavish balls of Marie Antoinette—stories that come alive on the pages of this book thanks to the brilliant talent of N. Basovskaya. The journey ends in the 19th century, when the beloved and revered by her people English queen Victoria and China’s cruel, devious empress Cixi took the throne.
