How,then,could royal power lie in female handsIn She-Wolves,celebrated historian,Helen Castor,tells the dramatic and fascinating stories of four exceptional women who,while never reigning queens,held great power: Matilda,Eleanor of Aquitaine,Isabella of France and Margaret of Anjou. These were women who paved the way for Jane Grey,Mary Tudor and Elizabeth I - the Tudor queens who finally confronted what it meant to be a female monarch.
