In todays world, true role models are crumbling away as our technology age increasingly reveal moral hypocrisy among those we most admired. How can we fill this moral vacuum? By looking to those across history whose courage and conviction still touch us today. The Legendary Women of World History Series fills that void through accessible and compelling creative non-fiction biographies of women whose lives are worth emulating. It all begins with Britains national heroine, Queen Boudicca whose courage in the face of overwhelming military superiority was driven by her belief that British values of freedom, equality, and independence was worth fighting for. Meet the real woman in Boudicca: Britains Queen of the Iceni. For kindle at viewBook.at/Boudiccakindle. Whisper-syncs to the audio edition at tinyurl/UKBoudiccaAudible, tinyurl/AudibleBoudicca-USA, and tinyurl/itunesBoudicca-RM. Then flash forward 1400 years to 15th century France and England with Catherine de Valois, the true story of the woman you barely met in Shakespeares Henry V as a caricature. Caught up in the heart of a civil war at home, the heart of the Hundred Years War between France and England, and the eve of the War of the Roses, Catherines life of courage, conviction, and true love not only challenged the status quo for medieval English women but set the stage for the Tudor dynasty and her great-great granddaughter Queen Elizabeth I whom we still celebrate today. For kindle at viewBook.at/1401Catherine. Coming to audio in June, 2015. Audio editions narrated by London-born Shakespearean actor and voice artist Richard Mann for ages 5+. Kindle editions for ages 8+.
