Listen to War Queens

Actor Nathalie Emmanuel joins father plus daughter history team Jon & Emily Jordan to bring your riveting stories of history's great women war leaders. In history class, we were all taught the stories of great wartime leaders—but the stories have always been about men. Now, for the first time, listen to a new podcast that brings you the stories of the fearless, powerful women leaders: War Queens. History’s war queens come in all colors, ages, and leadership styles. Elizabeth Tudor and Golda Meir played the roles of high-stakes gamblers who studied maps with an unblinking, calculating eye. Angola’s Queen Njinga was willing to shed (and occasionally drink) blood to establish a stable kingdom in an Africa ravaged by the slave trade. Caterina Sforza defended her Italian holdings with cannon and scimitar, and Indira Gandhi launched a war to solve a refugee crisis. Join Emily Jordan, an historian, along with her father, Jonathan Jordan, an historian and bestselling author, and actor Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones, Fast & Furious, The Maze Runner) every week as we bring you the stories of extraordinary leaders: War Queens. All of them, legends.

Game of Thrones and Fast & Furious actor Nathalie Emmanuel presents: Every week father-daughter team Jon and Emily Jordan examine the incredible stories of history’s most powerful female battle leaders, the brilliant methods and maneuvers history’s "killer queens” used to defend themselves and their people from enemy forces—and both father and daughter find out something about each other and how each generation appreciates these incredible women. From ancient Persia to modern-day Britain, experience the daunting thresholds these exceptional women had to cross and the clever, sometimes violent ways in which they smashed obstacles in their paths. History’s killer queens come in all colors, ages, and leadership styles, and from countries and cultures around the world. Elizabeth Tudor and Golda Meir played the roles of high-stakes gamblers who studied maps with an unblinking, calculating eye. Angola’s Queen Njinga was willing to shed (and occasionally drink) blood to establish a stable kingdom in an Africa ravaged by the slave trade. Caterina Sforza defended her Italian holdings with cannon and scimitar, and Indira Gandhi launched a war to solve a refugee crisis.
