Fern Riddell: I Am a Royal Rulebreaker, illustrated by Taylor Dolan

The NOT-SO boring biographies of the queens and princesses who shattered royal conventions and empowered generations of girls just like you. Forget wilting wallflowers and doting daughters - the royal women in this unapologetic history book for kids 9-12 rocked the world with their skills, smarts, and confident attitude. Strap in for the true stories of wilful women who defied expectations, changed the course of history, and were sometimes just downright badass! From fearless fighters who rallied spectacular armies to no-nonsense negotiators who fought for independence, each woman in this book - from English queens to Byzantine empresses and African leaders - turned norms on their head and smashed gender stereotypes. Written by cultural historian, Dr. Fern Riddell, and brought to life with fresh, zingy illustrations by Taylor Dolan, this is history with a punk rock twist. Fun, relatable, and totally inspiring.
