I'm looking for books on women in power ( regardless to over what and what kind of power- cartel queen or work of a country lol) strong women that had interesting lives the juicier the details the better lol. I've read a LOT on Queen Elizabeth, I'm interested in Cleopatra but the book I read so far on her was boring, generic info.I actually googled powerful women and found a few names I had never heard, I started "the last empress" based on one but didn't realize it's not non fiction and got "when women ruled the world" on others but the reviews are bad… So any suggestions? Lol
