书籍简介

在中世纪的英国，男人是女人的统治者，而国王是所有人的统治者。那么，王权怎么会掌握在女性手中呢？

知名历史学家海伦·卡斯特在《母狼》中讲述了四位特殊女性的戏剧性和迷人的故事，她们虽然没有当过女王，但却拥有巨大的权力。马蒂尔达、阿基坦的埃莉诺、法国的伊莎贝拉和安茹的玛格丽特。这些妇女为简·格雷、玛丽·都铎和伊丽莎白一世铺平了道路--都铎王朝的女王们终于使人们正视了成为女性君主的意义。

In medieval England, man was the ruler of woman, and the King was the ruler of all. How, then, could royal power lie in female hands?

In 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.
