In this lively and pathbreaking book, William Monter sketches
Europe's increasing acceptance of autonomous female rulers between
the late Middle Ages and the French Revolution. Monter surveys the
governmental records of Europe's thirty women monarchs--the famous
(Mary Stuart, Elizabeth I, Catherine the Great) as well as the
obscure (Charlotte of Cyprus, Isabel Clara Eugenia of the
Netherlands)--describing how each of them achieved sovereign
authority, wielded it, and (more often than men) abandoned it.
Monter argues that Europe's female kings, who ruled by divine
right, experienced no significant political opposition despite
their gender.
