Boudica Britannia by Miranda Aldhouse-Green

Boudica Britannia by Miranda Aldhouse-Green

Presents a study of Boudica, the queen of Iceni people. Making use of archaeological and classical scholarship, this book offers psychological insights into the first woman to make a significant impact on the history of Britain. It examines questions about female power, colonial oppression, and whether Boudica would be seen as a freedom fighter.

"Equally at home with the classical Graeco-Roman world and that of the prehistoric European Iron Age, Professor Aldhouse-Green is well equipped to do justice to the fearsome warrior queen of the Britons who so nearly brought the story of Roman Britain to a premature endThis important study of Boudica not only makes full use of recent archaeological and classical scholarship, it also offers exciting new psychological insights into the first woman to make a significant impact on the history of Britain" - Dr Paul R. Sealey, Assistant Curator of Archaeology, Colchester Museums

"New insights and evidence, and the fresh and modern approach to the saga of the British warrior queen. This book is well worth reading." - Dorothy Watts, University of Queensland
