The real and remarkable princess Artemisia lived thousands of years ago in the world of the ancient Greeks. Women were expected to obey their husbands in all matters, play no part in public life, and stay inside the house.
This highly illustrated book details how Artemisia grew up to be an exception in ancient Greece—becoming not only a sailor and a ship’s captain but also a famous admiral.
In addition to her story, this book has sections on the clothes Artemisia wore, the foods she ate, and why she is remembered today.
