When Mary Tudor became queen of England, the succession of a woman
to the throne horrified many, including the Protestant reformer
John Knox. His blistering condemnation of female rule, "The First
Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women," was
followed in print by a series of pamphlets that echoed and expanded
his argument that female rule was unnatural, unlawful, and contrary
to scripture. In her own variation on this "monstrous regiment,"
Sharon Jansen contributes to the debate about female rulers. She
explores the relationships among the many women whose lives occupy
a place in and perpetuate a continuing, though largely
unrecognized, tradition of political rule. The "story" of early
modern European political history looks very different if we focus
on successive generations of powerful women and view the shifting
political alliances of the period from their perspective.
