Cleopatra
Zoe Lowery, Julian Morgan
Library Binding (Rosen Young Adult, Jan. 1, 2017)Cleopatra is renowned as one of the most famous female leaders in all of history, but often her importance as the Macedonian dynastys last queen is obscured by her reputation for a lavish life and her tumultuous, high-profile romances with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Countless books, movies, plays, and operas have highlighted the drama and downplayed her keen political acumen and dedication to increasing Egypts power. Cleopatra, who began ruling Egypt when she was only eighteen years old, was a witty, stimulating conversationalist who was able to use her charm and intelligence for the good of her country.
