Mothers, wives, concubines, entertainers, attendants, officials,
maids, drudges. By offering the first comparative view of the women
who lived, worked, and served in royal courts around the globe,
this work opens a new perspective on the monarchies that have
dominated much of human history. Written by leading historians,
anthropologists, and archeologists, these lively essays take us
from Mayan states to twentieth-century Benin in Nigeria, to the
palace of Japanese Shoguns, the Chinese Imperial courts,
eighteenth-century Versailles, Mughal India, and beyond. Together
they investigate how women's roles differed, how their roles
changed over time, and how their histories can illuminate the
structures of power and societies in which they lived. This work
also furthers our understanding of how royal courts, created to
project the authority of male rulers, maintained themselves through
the reproductive and productive powers of women.
