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. 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. Detailing the artistic and political creativity that flourished in the pockets of peace created by these queens, Quilligan’s lavishly illustrated work offers a new perspective on the glory of the Renaissance and the women who helped to create it.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Law & PoliticsTopic: Society & Culture, Gender Sex & Relationships, HistoryRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
