This reference book, containing the biographies of more than 1,100
notable British women from Boudicca to Barbara Castle, is an
absorbing record of female achievement spanning some 2,000 years of
British life.

are women who influenced events in a more indirect way: the wives
of kings and politicians, mistresses, ladies in waiting and society
hostesses.

A Political Chronology of the World is a major new publication
which gives an impartial record of the political, geographical and
economic events that have helped to shape world history. Although
the book includes greater coverage of more recent
events-particularly in countries with a recent history of political
upheaval-it also provides invaluable detail on the early history of
each nation. Each chronology begins at least as early as the
emergence of an entity resembling the modern nation, and in many
cases considerably earlier. In addition to coverage of purely
political events, the title also includes details of the principal
economic, cultural and social landmarks in the history of each
nation. Examples might include the adoption of new languages,
alphabets, calendars or religions. This volume aims to be the first
point of reference for concise information on the history of each
nation in the world. Organized with a chapter for each country in
the world, contents include: the major events that have shaped each
country and, where relevant, associated dependencies and
territories coverage of major events and developments from the
early history of each nation to recent events, charting each
country's economic, political and social progress.
