Boudica Britannia

"When Roman troops threatened to seize the wealth of the Iceni people, their queen, Boudica, retalieted by inciting a major uprising, allying her tribe with neighbouring Trinovantes. The ensuing clash is one of the most important - and dramatic - events in the history of Britain, standing testament to what can happen when an insensitive colonial power meets determined resistence from a subjugated people head on.
In this fascinating account of a legendary figure, Miranda Aldhouse-Green raises questions about female power, colonial oppression, and whether Boudica would be seen today as a freedom fighter, terrorist of martyr.
