The turbulent Tudor age never fails to capture the imagination. But
what was it actually like to be a woman during this period? This
was a time when death in infancy or during childbirth was rife;
when marriage was usually a legal contract, not a matter for love,
and the education of women was minimal at best. Yet the Tudor
century was also dominated by powerful and characterful women in a
way that no era had been before. Elizabeth Norton explores the
seven ages of the Tudor woman, from childhood to old age, through
the diverging examples of women such as Elizabeth Tudor, Henry
VIII's sister who died in infancy; Cecily Burbage, Elizabeth's wet
nurse; Mary Howard, widowed but influential at court; Elizabeth
Boleyn, mother of a controversial queen; and Elizabeth Barton, a
peasant girl who would be lauded as a prophetess. Their stories are
interwoven with studies of topics ranging from Tudor toys to
contraception to witchcraft, painting a portrait of the lives of
queens and serving maids, nuns and harlots, widows and chaperones.
