Cleopatra

Cleopatra VII was the last queen of ancient Egypt, born in 69 BCE. She became queen when she was about 18 years old and ruled for over 20 years. Cleopatra was very intelligent and could speak several languages, including Egyptian and Greek. She worked hard to keep Egypt independent while powerful Rome was expanding its empire. Cleopatra formed alliances with two famous Roman leaders — Julius Caesar and later Mark Antony. She was known for her charm, clever politics, and love of learning. Cleopatra died in 30 BCE, and her story became legendary as Egypt’s last and most famous pharaoh.

Boudica

Boudica was a brave Celtic queen who fought against the Romans in ancient Britain. She led her people, the Iceni tribe, to defend their land and freedom. Boudica wore bright clothes and rode a chariot into battle, inspiring everyone with her courage. She was strong, smart, and determined to protect her family and her people. Even though her army was smaller, Boudica never gave up. Her story shows the power of standing up for what’s right. Today, Boudica is remembered as a fearless warrior queen and a true hero in British history who fought for freedom and justice!

Mary Queen of Scots

Mary, Queen of Scots, was born in 1542 and became queen when she was only six days old! She grew up in France, where she married Prince Francis, who became King of France. After his death, Mary returned to Scotland to rule her own country. She faced many problems, including disagreements with nobles and her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I of England. Mary was very clever and loved learning, writing poetry, and riding horses. Sadly, she was imprisoned for many years and executed in 1587. Today, Mary, Queen of Scots, is remembered for her beauty, courage, and dramatic life story.

Queen Victoria

Queen Victoria was born in 1819 and became Queen of the United Kingdom when she was just 18 years old! She ruled for 63 years — one of the longest reigns in British history. Her time as queen is called the Victorian Era, a period of great invention, exploration, and change. Queen Victoria married Prince Albert, and they had nine children who married into royal families across Europe. She loved art, family life, and her many pets. After Prince Albert died, she wore black for the rest of her life. Queen Victoria is remembered as a strong, wise, and devoted queen.

Suffragettes 

The Suffragettes were brave women who fought for the right to vote in the early 1900s. They believed that women should have the same political rights as men. Led by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters, the Suffragettes organised marches, gave speeches, and sometimes took bold actions to get attention for their cause. Many were arrested for protesting but never gave up. During World War I, their hard work and courage helped change opinions about women’s rights. In 1918, some women finally won the right to vote in Britain. The Suffragettes are remembered as heroes who changed history for all women.
