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. 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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Queens $z Europe $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Women heads of state $z Europe $x History $y 16th century. 651 0 $a Europe $x Politics and government $y 1492-1648. 600 00 $a Mary $b I, $c Queen of England, $d 1516-1558. 600 00 $a Elizabeth $b I, $c Queen of England, $d 1533-1603. 600 00 $a Mary, $c Queen of Scots, $d 1542-1587. 600 00 $a Catherine de MeÌdicis, $c Queen, consort of Henry II, King of France, $d 1519-1589. 650 0 $a Renaissance. 941 $a 6 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011453.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012021423.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203015934.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20221018011542.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20220721010203.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211008010106.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=01FC382027FD11EC8FB157B94DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
