It’s the reign of #BookFaceFriday!

Happy Woman’s History Month! “Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman” by Robert K. Massie (Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2012) is a narrative biography that delves into the story and history of Catherine the Great.

It’s available as an eBook and Audiobook through Nebraska OverDrive Libraries and is currently featured in the “Woman’s History” curated collection, along with many other novels highlighting woman throughout history.

“[A] meticulously detailed work about Catherine and her world. . . . Massie makes Catherine’s story as gripping as that of any novel. His book does full justice to a complex and fascinating woman and to the age in which she lived.”
