Fascinating insight into a little known queen.

She’s the black Boudica but she succeeded! There needs to be a movie. Really enjoyed learning about this queen.

Cleopatra’s contemporary who defeated Rome.

It's remarkable that a female ruler of the Nile Valley Civilizations who defeated the Romans is less well known than her contemporary Cleopatra VII. This audiobook helped to correct it.
