Produktbeschreibung

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 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.
