Throughout history, queens have captivated our imaginations with their power, influence, and often tragic fates. From the legendary Cleopatra to the iconic Elizabeth I, these women have left an enduring mark on the world. In his new book, Queens Then and Now, author Jason Antos delves into the lives and legacies of some of history's most fascinating queens.

Antos's book is not a dry historical account, but rather a vibrant and engaging exploration of these women's lives. He paints a vivid portrait of Cleopatra, the enigmatic queen of Egypt who seduced Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. He tells the story of Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen who ruled England for over 40 years and established the country as a global power. And he introduces us to lesser-known queens, such as Nzinga of Angola, who fought against Portuguese colonizers, and Ranavalona I of Madagascar, who was known for her cruelty and eccentricity.
