Description
Catherine the Great was born to rule. Orphaned at a young age, she married the heir to the Russian throne at just 16 years old. But when her husband proved unfit to lead, Catherine took matters into her own hands and seized power in 1762.
Over the next three decades, Catherine transformed Russia into one of Europe's greatest powers. She expanded its borders, improved its education system, and promoted the arts. Her reign is remembered as the Golden Age of Russia, a testament to her vision and leadership.
This book tells the story of Catherine's remarkable journey from princess to empress, exploring how she achieved greatness despite the odds against her.
