Royal women did much more to wield power besides marrying the king
and producing the heir. Subverting the dichotomies of
public/private and formal/informal that gender public authority as
male and informal authority as female, this book examines royal
women as agents of influence. With an expansive chronological and
geographic scope-from ancient to early modern and covering Egypt,
Great Britain, the Ottoman Empire, and Asia Minor-these essays
trace patterns of influence often disguised by narrower studies of
government studies and officials. Contributors highlight the theme
of dynastic loyalty by focusing on the roles and actions of
individual royal women, examining patterns within dynasties, and
considering what factors generated loyalty and disloyalty to a
dynasty or individual ruler. Contributors show that whether serving
as the font of dynastic authority or playing informal roles of
child-bearer, patron, or religious promoter, royal women have been
central to the issue of dynastic loyalty throughout the ancient,
medieval, and modern eras.
