The book provides mini-biographies on many royal women throughout modern and ancient history. It is well-written and in an irreverent voice that I really enjoyed. The author begins by stating she wrote this to counteract the Princess Culture that is so prevalent today thanks to all the Disney princesses. She wanted to tell the stories of real women, who did not, for the most part, live "happily ever after." I might have checked this out on a whim, but I'm happy I did so.
