Why Is Anna Komnene Influential?

According to Wikipedia, Anna Komnene , commonly Latinized as Anna Comnena, was a Byzantine Greek princess and the author of the Alexiad, an account of the reign of her father, Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos. The Alexiad constitutes the most important primary source of Byzantine history of the late 11th and early 12th centuries. Although she is best known as the author of the Alexiad, Anna played an important part in the politics of the time and attempted to depose her brother, John II Komnenos, as emperor and seize the throne herself.
