The New Yorker: "Antonia Fraser's The Warrior Queens in an intelligent and artful study of women rulers who commanded in battle... Ms Fraser at once clarifies history and suggests the many ways that myths betray history... She holds our attention and she misses nothing." Los Angeles Times Book Review: "The Warrior Queens is lore-packed... and fascinating to read... Fraser has assembled a remarkable group of women for our contemplation... They have outmaneuvered, outtalked, outblustered, and in some cases outshot and outridden the cream of the male crop... Fraser is to be congratulated for rescuing them from their own myths and for giving them their due as individuals."
