The dual biography of two remarkable women - Catherine Parr and
Anne Askew. One was the last queen of a powerful monarch, the
second a countrywoman from Lincolnshire. But they were joined
together in their love for the new learning - and their adherence
to Protestantism threatened both their lives. Both women wrote
about their faith, and their writings are still with us. Powerful
men at court sought to bring Catherine down, and used Anne Askew's
notoriety as a weapon in that battle. Queen Catherine Parr
survived, while Anne Askew, the only woman to be racked, was burned
to death. This book explores their lives, and the way of life for
women from various social strata in Tudor England.
