Premodern Rulers and Postmodern Viewers

All the Queenship and Power books are great reads, and so is this! The focus on modern depictions of historic queens offers a great hook for readers who aren't used to academic lit. Part I ("Reappraising Female Rulers in the Light of Modern Feminism(s)") was the most interesting to me, particularly "Silencing Queens: The Dominated Discourse of Historical Queens in Film"and the two chapters on The White Queen.
