This review is from: Hellenistic Queens: A Study of Woman Power in MacEdonia, Seleucid, Syria, and Ptolemaic Egypt (Paperback)

This is an excellent study of the Hellenistic Queens. Coverage is extremely thorough, and the analysis is very balanced. I'm quite impressed with the amount of information that the author makes available to the reader. The text is aimed a little more at scholars than at the layperson, but it is still accessible to the non-expert. This is a good resource especially for people who need to write article-lenght pieces in the field.
