The story of Catherine The Great.

What a strong Women and a complete bad ass she was!

From Biography.com

Catherine is often better remembered for her romantic liaisons than her many accomplishments. Historians have also criticized her for not improving the lives of serfs, who were the majority of the Russian population. Still, Catherine made some significant contributions to Russia. She brought educational reforms and championed the arts. As the country's leader, Catherine also helped Russia become a great power, extending its borders through military might and diplomatic prowess.

I highly recommend this book!
