In Her Father's Daughter, Lucy K. Pick considers a group of royal
women in the early medieval kingdoms of the Asturias and of
Leon-Castilla; their lives say a great deal about structures of
power and the roles of gender and religion within the early Iberian
kingdoms. Pick examines these women, all daughters of kings, as
members of networks of power that work variously in parallel, in
concert, and in resistance to some forms of male power, and
contends that only by mapping these networks do we gain a full
understanding of the nature of monarchical power. Pick's focus on
the roles, possibilities, and limitations faced by these royal
women forces us to reevaluate medieval gender norms and their
relationship to power and to rethink the power structures of the
era. Well illustrated with images of significant objects, Her
Father's Daughter is marked by Pick's wide-ranging
interdisciplinary approach, which encompasses liturgy, art,
manuscripts, architecture, documentary texts, historical
narratives, saints' lives, theological treatises, and epigraphy.
