Description: When Women Ruled the WorldMaking the Renaissance in Europe Author(s): Maureen Quilligan Format: Hardback Publisher: WW Norton & Co, United States Imprint: Liveright Publishing Corporation ISBN-13: 9781631497964, 978-1631497964 Synopsis Sixteenth-century Europe was a time of destabilisation 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. 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.
