Elizabeth Wydeville, Queen consort to Edward IV, has traditionally been portrayed as a scheming opportunist. But was she a cunning vixen or a tragic wife and mother? As this extraordinary biography shows, the first queen to bear the name Elizabeth lived a tragedy, love, and loss that no other queen has since endured. This shocking revelation about the survival of one woman through vilification and adversity shows Elizabeth as a beautiful and adored wife, distraught mother of the two lost Princes in the Tower, and an innocent queen slandered by politicians.

Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ... ELIZABETH CADY STANTON, BAS-RELIEF, BY PAUL W. BARTLETT, 1887 Basingstoke, March 6. I gave up the day to Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, which is said to offer a good picture of Russian life. I do not like it very much, as all the women are disappointed and unhappy; and well they may be, as they are made to look to men, and not to themselves, for their chief joy. Basingstoke, March 75. Here, just now, the main subjects of debate are the Queen's Jubilee and the Irish Question. All over the country, ladies have formed societies to collect funds to build a monument to Prince Albert for the Queen. As Her Majesty is worth, I am told, some 10,000,000 pounds, one would think she might build this monument herself, if she really wants another. Every little village even is divided into districts, and different ladies go the rounds begging pennies of servants and the laboring classes. One of them came here a few days ago and asked of the maid who opened the door to see the servants. So they assembled, and she then solicited a penny from each one of them. Doing justice to her Irish subjects and giving the half of her worldly possessions to the poor and suffering would be a more fitting way to erect a monument to her dead consort. In this world of plenty, every being has a right to food, clothes, a decent shelter, and at least the rudiments of an education. There is something "rotten in Denmark" when one-tenth of the human family, booted and spurred, rides the masses to destruction. I detest the words royalty and nobility and all the ideas and institutions based on them, Basingstoke, April 6. These April days have come in bright and beautiful. The crocuses, white, yellow, and purple, have pushed up their heads all over the grounds, looking so gay and giving...

Elizabeth I acceded to the throne in 1558, restoring the Protestant faith to England. At the heart of the new queen's court lay Elizabeth's bedchamber, closely guarded by the favoured women who helped her dress, looked after her jewels and shared her bed. Elizabeth's private life was of public, political concern. Her bedfellows were witnesses to the face and body beneath the make-up and elaborate clothes, as well as to rumoured illicit dalliances with such figures as Robert Dudley. Their presence was for security as well as propriety, as the kingdom was haunted by fears of assassination plots and other Catholic subterfuge. For such was the significance of the queen's body: it represented the very state itself. This riveting, revealing history of the politics of intimacy uncovers the feminized world of the Elizabethan court. Between the scandal and intrigue the women who attended the queen were the guardians of the truth about her health, chastity and fertility. Their stories offer extraordinary insight into the daily life of the Elizabethans, the fragility of royal favour and the price of disloyalty.

“An original, masterly, and fascinating study [that] offers brilliant new insights into the shaping of the Virgin Queen.”—Alison Weir, New York Times bestselling author of the Six Tudor Queens series In vivid detail, historian Tracy Borman presents Elizabeth I from a thrilling new angle, focusing on the Virgin Queen not through her relationship with men, but as the product of women—the mother she lost so tragically, the female subjects who worshipped her, and the peers and intimates who loved, raised, challenged, and sometimes opposed her. Borman introduces Elizabeth’s bewitching mother, Anne Boleyn, eager to nurture her new child, only to see her taken away and her own life destroyed by damning allegations—which taught Elizabeth never to mix politics and love. Kat Astley, the governess who attended and taught Elizabeth for almost thirty years, invited disaster by encouraging her charge into a dangerous liaison after Henry VIII’s death. Mary Tudor—“Bloody Mary”—envied her younger sister’s popularity and threatened to destroy her altogether. And animosity drove Elizabeth and her cousin Mary Queen of Scots into an intense thirty-year rivalry that could end only in death. Elizabeth’s Women is an unprecedented account of how the public posture of femininity figured into the English court, the meaning of costume and display, the power of fecundity and flirtation, and how Elizabeth herself—long viewed as the embodiment of feminism—shared popular views of female inferiority and scorned and schemed against her underlings’ marriages and pregnancies. Brilliantly researched and elegantly written, Elizabeth’s Women is a unique take on history’s most captivating queen and the dazzling court that surrounded her.

"Superb.... A perceptive, suspenseful account." --The New York Times Book Review "Dunn demythologizes Elizabeth and Mary. In humanizing their dynamic and shifting relationship, Dunn describes it as fueled by both rivalry and their natural solidarity as women in an overwhelmingly masculine world." --Boston Herald The political and religious conflicts between Queen Elizabeth I and the doomed Mary, Queen of Scots, have for centuries captured our imagination and inspired memorable dramas played out on stage, screen, and in opera. But few books have brought to life more vividly the exquisite texture of two women’s rivalry, spurred on by the ambitions and machinations of the forceful men who surrounded them. The drama has terrific resonance even now as women continue to struggle in their bid for executive power. Against the backdrop of sixteenth-century England, Scotland, and France, Dunn paints portraits of a pair of protagonists whose formidable strengths were placed in relentless opposition. Protestant Elizabeth, the bastard daughter of Anne Boleyn, whose legitimacy had to be vouchsafed by legal means, glowed with executive ability and a visionary energy as bright as her red hair. Mary, the Catholic successor whom England’s rivals wished to see on the throne, was charming, feminine, and deeply persuasive. That two such women, queens in their own right, should have been contemporaries and neighbours sets in motion a joint biography of rare spark and page-turning power.
