When Women Ruled the World: Making the Renaissance in Europe Quilligan Maureen
Library Journal - "Books and Authors to Know: Titles to Watch 2021"Sixteenth-century Europe was a time of destabilization of age-old norms and the waging of religious wars--yet it also witnessed the remarkable flowering of a pacific culture cultivated by a cohort of extraordinary women rulers who sat on Europe's thrones, most notably Mary Tudor; Elizabeth I; Mary, Queen of Scots; and Catherine de' Medici.Recasting the dramatic stories and complex political relationships among these four women rulers, Maureen Quilligan rewrites centuries of scholarship that sought to depict intense personal hatreds among them. Detailing the artistic and political creativity Instead, showing how the queens engendered a culture of mutual respect, When Women Ruled the World focuses on the gift-giving by which they aimed to ensure female bonds of friendship and alliance.
