PRINCESSES BEHAVING BADLY: REAL STORIES FROM HISTORY-WITHOUT THE FAIRY-TALE ENDINGS
Book ID/图书代码： 11186013B62507
English Summary/英文概要： You think you know her story. You’ve read the Brothers Grimm, you’ve watched the Disney cartoons, you cheered as these virtuous women lived happily ever after. But the lives of real princesses couldn’t be more different. Sure, many were graceful and benevolent leaders—but just as many were ruthless in their quest for power, and all of them had skeletons rattling in their royal closets. Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe was a Nazi spy. Empress Elizabeth of the Austro-Hungarian empire slept wearing a mask of raw veal. Princess Olga of Kiev murdered thousands of men, and Princess Rani Lakshmibai waged war on the battlefield, charging into combat with her toddler son strapped to her back. Princesses Behaving Badly offers minibiographies of all these princesses and dozens more. It’s a fascinating read for history buffs, feminists, and anyone seeking a different kind of bedtime story.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 工於心計 殺人無數 夜夜笙歌 勇猛剽悍
截然不同的床邊公主故事說到公主，妳會想到哪種面貌？
或許妳讀過格林童話，妳也看過迪士尼卡通，大部分人想到的樣子都是：美麗、純真、閃閃惹人愛、瀰漫著粉紅泡泡，被帥氣王子拯救後從此過著幸福快樂的日子。
但歷史上的有血有肉的真實公主們可不一定都過著如此浪漫。的確，大部分的公主都優雅有禮，謹遵傳統對女性的規範，一舉一動都堪稱領導家族的典範。同時也有公主們巾幗不讓鬚眉，戰場上浴血廝殺，比男性更剽悍；有公主工於心計，深具權謀；有公主垂簾聽政，權力足以與男性抗衡；有公主夜夜笙歌，荒淫無憚；她們的秘密衣櫃裡除了華麗的衣服，更多的是「手下敗將」的枯骨…。
以下是書中提及的部分例子：
Stephanie von Hohenlohe公主是納粹間諜
奧匈帝國的Elizabeth公主睡覺時一定要戴面具：用小牛肉做的面具
基輔公主Olga謀殺了數以千計的男子
Rani Lakshmibai公主勇猛剽悍，背著寶寶馳騁沙場
