Queen Athaliah, ruled over judah for six years, until she was murdered by the temple priests. She was probably the daughter of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, another biblical queen who was not looked upon favorably by the bible and the historical record. The Book of Maccabees tells us about Queen Shlomzion, who ruled the Hasmonean Kingdom for a decade – the last independent Jewish monarch. In this new ERETZ book Yadin Roman focuses on the many outstanding Jewish women of history, restoring them to their well-deserved place in the annals of the Jewish People.
