Nobody's Princess by Esther M. Friesner

5.0

Helen of Troy was “the face that launched a thousand ships,” but in the 21st-century women are more than just pretty faces. In Nobody’s Princess, author Esther Friesner, asks, “Who was Helen?... Did she know that everyone agreed that she was the most beautiful woman in the world? Did knowing that make her feel proud, or smug, or embarrassed, or bored with all the never-ending compliments?” This Helen fights and rides instead of spinning and weaving, and much more.

A modern revisit to the woman who started the Trojan War, an ancient story with too few female characters.
