Outrageous Women of the Renaissance

by Vicki Leon Author

(From Amazon): Fabulous true stories of the most amazing women in history. They were cool and courageous, self-reliant and sharp-witted, daring and determined. They were the exciting, inspiring, and totally Outrageous Women of the Renaissance. These remarkable women forged their own paths, made their own rules—and rocked the world! Among the outrageous women you'll meet are: Joan of Arc—the bold warrior who at age 17 became commander-in-chief of the French army and led her country's charge against the invading English. Elisabetta Sirani—the lightning-quick painter who opened an all-female art school and became an international sensation. Grace O'Malley—the mother of three who ruled the high seas as Ireland's pirate queen and freedom fighter. Christina of Sweden—the eccentric Swedish monarch who awakened her country to the wonders of Renaissance art, science, and literature. Gracia Mendes Nasi—the Spanish humanitarian and philanthropist whose "underground railroad" saved the lives of countless persecuted Jews.
