Princesses Behaving Badly: Real Stories from History—without the Fairy-Tale Endings
by Linda Rodríguez McRobbie
This book explores the stories behind female rulers and royalty and attempts to separate facts from fiction. The book fell a little flat for me. Great premise, but a missed opportunity.
That being said, a couple of the chapters were interesting because of other books I’ve read recently. Queen Nzinga mentioned by Ta-Nehisi Coates in “Between the World and Me” and Franziska Schanzkowska, whose story has been adapted into historical fiction work “I Was Anastasia” by Ariel Lawson.
