The feminine spirit soars as medieval Europe's most exceptional
woman recalls her astonishing odyssey, in 'Power of a Woman.
Memoirs of a turbulent life: Eleanor of Aquitaine.' Betrayals and
loyalties; triumphs and trials; stormy marriages to two warring
kings, France's Louis VII and England's Henry II: 'They left me
worn, these men, but they didn't level me ' In her eighty-first
year, Eleanor recalls her wars, crusades, intrigues, troubadours
and ruthless diplomacy while confessing her loves, hopes for her
children and their fates. Eleanor spent 67 years fighting, arguing,
pleading, loving, hating and counseling four kings, two of them her
husbands, two of them her sons. She explains the Grace she enjoyed
as the femme fatale of her day-'This old carcass once embodied the
feminine ideal'-and the role that her Court of Ladies played in
freeing women's minds in a world dominated by the twin male
hierarchies of Church and state.
