Born in 69 BC in the great city of Alexandria, Cleopatra VII was Egypt's last pharaoh - and one of the most powerful, intelligent, and politically gifted rulers of the ancient world. She spoke nine languages. She studied mathematics and astronomy. And she fought to protect Egypt's independence in an age when Rome was conquering everything in its path.

From her childhood in the marble palaces of Alexandria, to her famous alliances with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, to the dramatic final days of her reign - discover the queen who refused to be a Roman pawn, and who ruled the Nile until the very end.

Part of Brilliant Women, Remarkable Stories - a series of accessible, beautifully crafted biographies for young readers, bringing to life the women who shaped our world.

A perfect first biography for curious children ages 6-10. A vivid introduction to ancient Egypt and one of history's most legendary women.
