- Description
- Elizabeth was crowned queen at twenty-five, but it was only when she reached fifty and all hopes of a royal marriage were behind her that she began to wield power in her own right. For twenty-five years she had struggled to assert her authority over advisers, who pressed her to marry and settle the succession: now, she was determined not only to reign but to rule. In this biography, Guy introduces a woman who is at once powerful and vulnerable, willful and afraid. We see her confronting challenges at home and abroad: war against France and Spain, revolt in Ireland, an economic crisis that triggers riots in the streets of London, and a conspiracy to place her cousin Mary Queen of Scots on her throne.

- Description
- Packer shows that Shakespeare began by writing women as shrews to be tamed or as sweet little things with no independence of thought. Then, with the extraordinary Juliet, there is a dramatic shift: suddenly Shakespeare’s women have depth, motivation, and understanding of life more than equal to that of the men. As Shakespeare ceases to write women as predictable caricatures and starts writing them from the inside, his women become as dimensional, spirited, spiritual, active, and sexual as any of his male characters. Wondering if Shakespeare had fallen in love (Packer considers with whom, and what she may have been like), the author observes that from Juliet on, Shakespeare’s characters demonstrate that when women and men are equal in status and passion, they can—and do—change the world.

- Description
- This volume surveys the role women have played in various types of business as owners, co-owners and decision-making managers in European and North American societies since the sixteenth century. Drawing on scholarship, it identifies the economic, social, legal and cultural factors that have facilitated or restricted women's participation in business. It pays particular attention to the ways in which gender norms, and their evolution, shaped not only those women's experience of business, but the ways they were perceived by contemporaries, documented in sources and, partly as a consequence, viewed by historians.

- Description
- This publication investigates aspects of women's lives, culture, ideas and the history of the book in early modern Italy. Inside a badly damaged copy of Straparola's 16th-century work, ‘Piacevoli Notti’, an inscription is found, attributing ownership to a certain Angelica Baldachini. Focusing as much on the possible owner as upon the thing owned, this book examines the genesis of the ‘Piacevoli Notti’ and its many editions, including the one in question. The intertwined stories of the book and its owner are set against the backdrop of a Renaissance world.

- Description
- Originally published in hardcover in 2014. The beguines began to form in various parts of Europe around 1200. Beguines were laywomen, not nuns. They were never a religious order or a formalized movement, but shared common elements as visionary spirituality, business acumen, and commitment to the poor and sick. The book describes the history of beguines across Europe, beguine ministries, beguine spirituality and compassion, beguines as preachers, performers and writers, and if beguines were heretics.
