Game of Queens: The Women Who Made Sixteenth-Century Europe by Sarah Gristwood

5.0

I loved this. I knew the famous names like Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Mary Stuart and Queen Catherine Di Medici but I learned about women like Mary of Hungary, Margaret of Austria, Louise of Savoy among others. The 1500s were a time for strong women and those covered in this book paved the way by showing women were just as capable of ruling as men.
