These are all so great! I especially love Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy. Some I haven't heard of and I'm ordering now :-)

Antonia Fraser has two excellent books: Warrior Queens and The Weaker Vessel. And then there's Scandalous Women by yours truly.

Love the sound of the third book on your list! I’ll have to look that up. I think my favourite would have to be *Femina* by Janina Ramirez!
