Andrews offers a mesmerising tour of the intricate webs of female power in the medieval world. Through the lens of ten women closely connected to one of history’s most famous matriarchs, we get a unique perspective of the lives of women who were politically and dynastically of great importance … a lively, sparkling and intensely readable account of women who made history.
