| Summary | "The Girls' Book of Famous Queens" by Lydia Hoyt Farmer is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work highlights the remarkable lives and reigns of notable queens throughout history, portraying their significant contributions to their respective empires. The book's focus is on the powerful and often complex figures of these queens, as it examines their heroic deeds and the important moments in history they influenced. The opening of the text introduces Semiramis, the legendary queen of Assyria, whose life is intertwined with the grandeur of ancient Nineveh and Babylon. The narrative begins with her mysterious origins and unexpected rise to power, illustrating her as not only an intelligent ruler but also a bold military leader who undertook significant construction projects. Semiramis's ambitions lead her to surpass her husband in influence, but her reign is also marked by themes of betrayal, ambition, and ultimately, her tragic end, offering a glimpse into the complexities of her character and the lasting impact she left on history.
