For centuries, women have led armies, defended kingdoms, and fought for freedom—but history often buried their names beneath those of kings and conquerors. Blades and Crowns uncovers the extraordinary lives of women warriors from across the ages: queens who commanded legions, rebels who defied empires, and soldiers who disguised themselves for the right to fight. Spanning cultures and continents, these stories blend meticulous research with vivid storytelling to reveal how bravery knows no gender. From Boudica and Tomoe Gozen to the female resistance fighters of the 20th century, this book celebrates courage in its purest form and redefines what it means to be a warrior.
