This collection expands previous regional and individual studies of
queenship and female political agency in order to engage in a
comparative study of premodern female rule on a global scale. While
the field of queenship studies and examinations of gender and power
have been flourishing, the literature has tended to be dominated by
studies of European royalty. This volume aims to embrace and
develop the trend towards an increasingly global outlook for the
field of queenship studies. Case studies of women from different
periods, places, and religions are deliberately mixed to compare
and contrast the realities of queenship in varied settings. Lesser
studied examples of queens are provided alongside fresh
perspectives on more familiar figures and regions. The authors
increase our understanding of understudied individuals and groups
of queens, and they encourage the comparison of the practice of
queenship in the premodern era. This authoritative and
comprehensive Companion will be required reading for all scholars
and students of premodern gender and political studies.
