Reviews

""This book does not try to provide just another academic overview of approaches to queenship in a cross-cultural, comparative perspective, but rather it tries to strike at the core of what royal female power means in the ancient Mediterranean through to the present day. The immensely positive contribution that this volume makes is to put the burgeoning field of ancient queenship studies in dialogue with contemporary artistic and cultural understandings of queenship from a variety of fascinating angles."" --Alex McAuley, Lecturer in Classics & Ancient History, University of Auckland, New Zealand
