Lives of Extraordinary Women by Kathleen Krull

Lives of Extraordinary Women by Kathleen Krull

Not all governments have been run by men. Lives of Extraordinary Women turns the spotlight on the women who have wielded power, revealing their feats--and flaws--for all the world to see. Here you'll find twenty of the most influential women in history: queens, warriors, prime ministers, first ladies, revolutionary leaders. Some are revered. Others are notorious. But they were all real people with private interests and personalities. What were they really like? What did they do for fun? Did their neighbors gossip about them? What were their tragedies and their triumphs? In this grand addition to their highly praised series, Kathleen Krull and Kathryn Hewitt celebrate some of the world's most noteworthy women--rulers and rebels who refused to stay in the wings and let others run the show. Wild or mild, hated or beloved, each of these women dared to stand up and be a leader.

Kathleen Krull is known for producing award-winning nonfiction for children, such as Lives of the Explorers, Lives of the Musicians, and the other volumes in this famous series, all of which are drawn by Kathryn Hewitt. She's also the author of Harvesting Hope: Cesar Chavez's Tale, which was illustrated by Yuyi Morales, as well as The Beatles Were Fab (and They Were Funny) and Lincoln Tells a Joke: How Humor Saved the Presidency (and the Nation), which she co-wrote with Paul Brewer and had Stacy Innerst illustrate. She resides in the city of San Diego, California. Kathyleen Krull's website is kathleenkrull.com.
