Warrior Queens by Vicky Alvear Shector

Warrior Queens by Vicky Alvear Shector

The true life stories of six little-known fierce ancient warrior queens are told with humour and vivid detail by an award-winning writer. For young readers seeking to be inspired by stories of strong women, this riveting book shines a light on six powerful ancient queens.

"This book tells the true stories of six queens whose lives are seldom shared in our history classesIt is interesting to compare the stories of women with strong voices from history just as women today are developing strong voices of their own. The text shares the histories of women who exhibit perseverance and strength in times when women were not readily given such strong roles of leadership. As we learn about these women, we are awed by their ingenuity, strength, and determination. These events are well researched and documented, offering students a path to read more about these historical figures if their interest is piqued. The illustrations add to the historical knowledge as well as enhance the reader's interest." -- School Library Connection

Vicky Alvear Shecter has been enthralled by the ancient world since she was ten years old, when photos of classical sculptures such as the Spear Bearer and the Venus de Milo inspired her to wonder about the societies that produced such exquisite art. Alexander the Great Rocks the World, a VOYA Honor Choice for Nonfiction, and Cleopatra Rules! are her two nonfiction works for young readers. It's her debut novel, and it's a good one. Vicky, her husband, and their two children live in Atlanta. Visit Vicky Alvearshecter's website at www.vickyalvearshecter.com.
