Synopsis
Guida M. Jackson spent seven years researching this first-ever biographical dictionary of all women rulers from the dawn of history to the present day. Alphabetically arranged, this book features more than 360 of these women, from famous historical figures such as Catherine the Great to contemporary leaders like Corazon Aquino. Meet Anne of England, who was both the first constitutional monarch of the United Kingdom and a faith healer to her people. Or learn the details of the brilliant careers of Goldie Mabovich and Hilda Roberts, better known today as Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher. Like their male counterparts, the female rulers' stories are not always exemplary, and Jackson reveals the tyrannical alongside the good.

About the Author
Guida M. Jackson is a lecturer in the English Foundations Department at the University of Houston, Houston, TX and managing editor of Touchstone Literary Journal.
From Library Journal
Jackson provides the most extensive source to date covering women rulers, de facto rulers, and constitutional monarchs. About 350 biographical sketches, from Egypt's Meryet-Net (31st century B.C.) to Nicaragua's new president, Violeta Chamorro, are included. Scope, criteria for selection, and special problems are discussed in the preface; a useful overview by continent comprises the introduction; and a chronology lists each ruler by century. Narratives, arranged alphabetically by name, range from a paragraph to 1 pages, depending on the ruler's importance and availability of historical information. Sources are extensively and meticulously documented in the notes and bibliography. A well-researched and readable text, this is recommended for academic, public, and school library reference collections. For more on this topic libraries may also want to consider Olga Opfell's Queens, Empresses, Grand Duchesses and Regents ( LJ 5/1/89).
