Ebook: Boudica: The Life of Britain’s Legendary Warrior Queen

Boudica has been mythologized as the woman who dared to take on the Roman Empire to avenge her
daughters, her tribe, and her enslaved country. As she has become well known as an icon of female
leadership and strength, the true story of her revolt against the Romans has only become more distant
—until now. Combining new research with recent archeological discoveries, critically acclaimed
historian and journalist Vanessa Collingridge has delved into the truth behind the Boudica legend,
bringing to us for the first time a full historical portrait of this shadowy figure of ancient history.
While tracking the origins and impact of the various versions of the Boudica legend, Collingridge
unearths a historical woman who is far subtler—but every bit as fascinating—as the myths associated
with her name.
Both a groundbreaking new study and a surprisingly personal history, Boudica is the story of one of
civilization’s most heralded female leaders and the legacy she left us.
