She-Wolves, Paperback/Helen Castor

The fascinating story of how royal power came to lie in female hands for the first time under the Tudor queens, now in paperback. Castor also profiles the 4 women who came before them who, whilst never reigning monarchs, held great power: Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella of France, Margaret of Anjou and Matilda, daughter of Henry I. 'Witty, elegant and engaging prose... Absorbing.' }Literary Review{
