They led, loved and fought for their kingdoms and people and their impact can still be felt today. However, beyond the lands they called home, so few of us have heard their names. From pre-colonial Nigeria to the rich plains of Rwanda, from the hills of Madagascar to apartheid South Africa, historian Akpan traces the lives of these powerful queens and takes you on a spellbinding, enrapturing and immersive journey that is nothing short of revelatory. Beautifully researched and filled with fascinating stories of royalty, ancient civilisations, conquest and colonisation, When We Ruled is a gripping new history where women take centre stage. _____________________________________________________ 'A rich, sumptuous and beautifully written tapestry' - Candice Carty-Williams, bestselling author of Queenie 'A treasure trove' - Bolu Babalola, bestselling author of Love in Colour and Honey & Spice
