Description: Covers individuals from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America, including the standard figures--kings, queens, generals, artists, and scientists--but much more: key figures who have previously received little attention, from the queen of Hausaland Amina Sarauniya Zazzua to composer Thomas Tallis, and even such notorious figures as Irish pirate Grace O'Malley and Hungarian noblewoman Elizabeth Bathory.
