Nice to see that Pola Negri was determined to get into character as Catherine the Great in the 1924 silent film Forbidden Paradise. In a plot centred on revolutions, rebellions & romance she turned to Women Who ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy for source material #womenwhoruledtheworld

Queen Victoria’s coronation roll, with the gold embellished copy of her oath that she signed during her coronation service. I viewed this wonderful document this evening after being invited to the unveiling of Charles III’s coronation roll at the National Archives #victoria #queenvictoria #crown

Having burned her 3 closest towns Boudicca realised -too late - that she hadn’t picked up Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy from the bookshop. Luckily, she could download the audiobook which she listened to while driving her chariot into the Roman lines. #womenwhoruledtheworld

It can be exhausting being on display (in a museum) all day, so I’m glad to see that Hatshepsut, Egypt’s most successful female pharaoh, finds the time to do some reading.

Let us do the Tyme Warpe agayne!
