Twelve stories are offered here of real girls who influenced historical events through courage, perserverance and fortitude. Learn about Zenobia of Palmyra, Helena of Britain, Pulcheria of Constantinople, Clotilda of Burgundy, Woo of Whang-Ho, Edith of Scotland, Jacqueline of Holland (featured on our cover), Catarina of Venice, Theresa of Avila, Elizabeth of Tudor, Christina of Sweden, and Ma-Ta-Oka of Pow-Ha-Tan (or Pocahontas). This volume is also an excellent introduction to the study of history. Originally compiled in 1887 from selections which first appeared in Saint Nicholas magazine, they will delight today’s young readers as much as they did their great-grandparents when these tales first were written.

For the "Great King," having killed and stuffed the captive Roman Emperor, now turned his arms against the Roman power in the east and, destroying both Antioch and Emesa, looked with an evil eye toward Palmyra. Zenobia, remembering the omen of the eagle and the lion, repeated her counsel of facing craft with craft, and letters and gifts had been sent to Sapor, asking for peace and friendship. --This text refers to the Digital edition.
