3. what's the name of the book?

I'll be finished with my current one a few days and was contemplating what to get next at the library.

Right now I'm re-reading The Six Wives of Henry VIII... I particularly like Anne Boleyn. Another very intelligent ambitious woman that despite the times created lasting change in Britain manipulating the king to break from the stranglehold of the Roman church.

So far I haven't read very much on Catherine the Great. I know some general stuff, but not very much.

You know something just dawned on me... I was in high school in the late 70's/early '80's and took lots of various history classes since I've always enjoyed history, but looking back it occurs to me that there was never even one historic female that was studied, and even when they couldn't get around a great historic female in order to discuss a certain point or subject in history the females were glossed over and either portrayed as crazy, evil or both.
