Note(s) : 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
