These heroines rocked the world with their accomplishments, and with their attitude! Outrageous Women of Ancient Times relates the unusual stories of fifteen of these brave and fascinating women. Cheer the three sisters from Rome who stole the show at the athletic games, winning numerous prizes in running and even chariot races. Take inspiration from Hatshepsut, the first female pharaoh of Egypt, who ruled for twenty years. Discover the Arab queen Zenobia, who conquered Egypt and half of Asia Minor during her reign.
