註釋The 10 audacious women featured in this book didn't know or care what a "glass ceiling" was - they just did what they had to do to make the world a better place. A world where women were respected, and nobody questioned whether they should be in positions of power. You will meet the mysterious shaman queen who inspired a Tomb Raider movie and badass wonder girl Lara Croft, two sisters who defeated the Chinese army with 80,000 volunteer fighters led by women generals, one of whom was their very own mother, the first and only female emperor in China's 3500-year history who was also a concubine, murderer, and poet; the astronomer queen who could foretell the future and warded off an invasion by using her extraordinary powers, the woman who wrote the world's first novel 1200 years ago and still influences writers today, the 12th-century royal sisters who brought universal education and health care to the people of the Khmer Kingdom, the illiterate war bride and single mom who became the most powerful woman in the 13th century and brought up four sons that became great khans, and the warrior queen of Delhi, who rode an elephant into battles and who fought bravely to bring peace and prosperity to her people.
