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 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 L. Jansen contributes to the debate about female rulers. Jansen
explores the relationships among the many women whose lives occupy a
place
in and perpetuate a continuning, though largely unrecognized, tradition
of political rule. The "story" of early modern European politial
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.
