Description
Women who changed history and inspired generations. From the legendary Cleopatra to the indomitable 'Iron Lady' Margaret Thatcher to the resilient Angela Merkel. Women who had one thing in common: they rose to the forefront of their states at times when politics was a male privilege, influencing the development of their countries for decades, if not centuries, to come. How did they manage to gain power and maintain it in a society where women often faced prejudice and inequality? How did they navigate political and social crises that would break even the most seasoned leaders, and how did they manage to change the future? The book Women in Power presents fascinating portraits of twenty of the strongest female politicians from Cleopatra to the mother of compulsory education Maria Theresa to British Queen Elizabeth II. The stories of the most significant women in our history and present shatter myths and entrenched stereotypes, proving that the glass ceiling is not insurmountable because someone has already broken through it.
