Mary Magdalene | Lynn Picknett

An amazing book describing how MM was the disciple of the disciples. Her role as "Goddess" and the importance of the sacred feminine.

Elizabeth I was a woman like no other. She brought religious tolerance to England after extreme Protestantism of Edward and extreme Catholicism under Mary. She refused to marry as she didn't want a Consort King running the country that was hers by hereditary. She made great changes to England, built an Armada that beat Spain which no one expected. She was one of England's greatest rulers.

One of the best books I have read about Anne Boleyn. Instead of being portrayed as a home wrecker and whore, Anne is shown as a woman who was way ahead of her time. Henry VIII hunted Anne as he hunted with his hounds. Once the hunt was over, there was no challenge for him anymore and therefore she was discarded. If you love reading about Anne Boleyn please read this important book.

Catherine the Great brought art, architecture and beauty to Russia. She had her faults as liking very young men and not being able to relieve serfdom but she loved Russia and wanted to promote ideas and bring in the enlightenment.
