Esther knew about Haman's plot to kill her people, so she went to king Xerxes without permission, which would usually end in the king killing you. You had to have a lot of guts to stand up for your people when your life is on the line.
Esther was the heroine and central figure in the Biblical book of Esther. She was a beautiful Jewish woman, the wife of the Persian king Ahasuerus (Xerxes I). She and her cousin Mordecai persuaded the king to cancel an order for the extermination of the Jews in his wide realm, plotted by the king's chief minister, Haman. Instead, Haman was hanged on the gallows he had built for Mordecai, and the Jews were given permission to destroy their enemies. The Jewish festival of Purim celebrates this event. According to tradition, the book of Esther was written in the 4th century BCE.
Additional facts: Esther was a Jewess, who lived during the Babylonian exile. When Queen Vashti refused to go to Ahasuerus (in Chapter 1), Memucan, a Persian wise man, advised King Ahasuerus to remove Vashti from being Queen of Persia, and King Ahasuerus agreed to his advice. In Esther Chapter 2, royal eunuchs advised Ahasuerus to look for a new queen, a virgin. Esther was the best looking one, and Ahasuerus picked her to replace Vashti. When Esther was orphaned, she was then adopted by her cousin Mordecai, who became her foster father.

How long was Queen Esther married?
A:The Book of Esther places Esther during the reign of Xerxes, who was king of Persia from 486 to 465 BCE. The book says that the first wife of Xerxes, Queen Vashti, was banished in the third year of his reign and that Esther was selected as queen soon afterwards. The Book of Esther does not say whether Esther was queen fortheremainder of Xerxes' reign but, if so, she would have been queen for some 18 years. Scholars say there are good reasons to believe that the story is fictional and that there never was a Queen Esther of Persia.

From a historical perspective, Esther was never really a queen.
