Excerpt from The Girls Book of Famous Queens In the annals of history, women have played an important part; and among the famous sovereigns of the world, queens, as well as kings, have made their names illustrious by heroic deeds and great enterprises. The names which we have chosen for this book do not include all the renowned female sovereigns; but their lives present some of the most important epochs in the world's history. I am indebted to the assistance of my son, in the sketches of Queen Marie Antoinette and the Empress Eugénie.
