A surprising and very personal biography of a woman who may be the world's last great queen, published to coincide with the 60th anniversary of her reign--Elizabeth II, one of England's longest-reigning monarchs.

The Women's History Month theme this year is "Visionary Women: Champions of Peace & Nonviolence" but March celebrates all women, including the 8 below who are champions of peace, persistence, and empowerment. (And nonviolent unless you count J.K. Rowling's stinging Twitter clapbacks, but we're not).
