Summary

From Elizabeth I's bewitching mother, Anne Boleyn, to her dangerously obsessive sister, Mary Tudor, and from the rivals to her throne such as Mary, Queen of Scots, to the flounting wenches like Lettice Knollys, the women who surrounded the Virgin Queen had a profound influence on her. Elizabeths Women contains more than an indelible cast of characters. It is an unprecedented account of how the public posture of femininity figured into the English court, the meaning of costume and display, the power of fecundity and flirtation, and how Elizabeth herselflong viewed as the embodiment of feminismshared popular views of female inferiority and scorned and schemed against her underlings marriages and pregnancies
