Born into a poor Jewish family in Cold War-era Budapest, Susan Polgar faced many challenges, from a lack of resources to a sexist environment and fierce anti-Semitism. However, her father believed that geniuses are not born but made, so he ensured her success in an unlikely field: chess. At the age of 4, she won her first tournament. By 15, she was the best female player in the world and became the first woman to hold the title of Grandmaster, the highest title in chess. Her victories and accolades were accompanied by tremendous mental and social upheavals, as her fame brought difficulties, including sabotage and state terrorism. REBEL QUEEN is her autobiography, offering a rare glimpse behind the curtains of chess and featuring some of the game's most legendary characters. It is a narrative that transcends chess, the story of a genius who was considered a second-class citizen from birth, who surprised everyone despite facing many difficulties. It is an incredible story of an underdog, as lived by herself.
