Description: |
Presents a study of Boudica, the queen of Iceni people. Making use of archaeological and classical scholarship, this book offers psychological insights into the first woman to make a significant impact on the history of Britain. It examines questions about female power, colonial oppression, and whether Boudica would be seen as a freedom fighter. |
Synopsis: |
When Roman troops threatened to seize the wealth of the Iceni people, their queen, Boudica, retaliated by inciting a major uprising, allying her tribe with the neighbouring Trinovantes. The ensuing clash is one of the most important - and dramatic - events in the history of Britain, standing testament to what can happen when an insensitive colonial power meets determined resistance from a subjugated people head-on. In this fascinating account of a legendary figure, Miranda Aldhouse-Green raises questions about female power, colonial oppression, and whether Boudica would be seen today as a freedom fighter, terrorist or martyr. |
