The volume provides a detailed exploration of the lives, struggles, and reigns of these female monarchs, making it a captivating read for those interested in English history and the powerful women who shaped it. The beginning of this volume focuses on Mary I, the first queen-regnant of England, detailing her early life as the only surviving child of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon. It describes her rigorous education and the political machinations that shaped her future, including her experiences of loss and rejection, particularly in relation to her half-sister Elizabeth.
