Natasha Yim’s current book, Cixi, The Dragon Empress and Gretchen Maurer’s current book, Mary Tudor, “Bloody Mary” are two of the six books (all written by different authors) in Goosebottom Books’ series, The Thinking Girl’s Treasury of Dastardly Dames. The series profiles six women in history who have earned dastardly reputations.
The last empress of China, Cixi fought ruthlessly to isolate her country from the West, while cloistered inside her lavish Forbidden City, ignoring the needs of her people. But was the Dragon Empress evil or just out of touch?
ISBN Number: Cixi, The Dragon Empress: 978-0-9834256-5-6
Mary Tudor, Bloody Mary: The first reigning Queen of England, Mary Tudor believed
fervently that Catholicism should be the religion of the land, leading her to burn at the stake
hundreds of Protestants. Was she just a ruler of her times, or did she deserve the name, Bloody Mary?
ISBN Number: Mary Tudor, Bloody Mary: 978-0-9834256-2-5
The books combine the romance and enchantment of princesses with a message of youthful female empowerment. These are princesses who didn’t just sit around waiting to be rescued. Against great odds, they made their own lives, and changed their worlds.
