But real princesses didn't always get happy endings. Sure, plenty 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 Elisabeth of the Austro-Hungarian empire slept wearing a mask of raw veal. Princess Olga of Kiev slaughtered her way to sainthood while Princess Lakshmibai waged war on the battlefield, charging into combat with her toddler son strapped to her back. Princesses Behaving Badly offers true tales of all these princesses and dozens more in a fascinating read that's perfect for history buffs, feminists, and anyone seeking a different kind of bedtime story.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 920.72 Mc   Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 920.72 Mc   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library YA -- Biography 920.72 Mc Biography Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 920.72 Mc   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 920.72 Mc   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 920.72 Mc   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 920.72 Mc   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 920.72 Mc   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 920.72 Mc   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 920.72 Mc   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
