She-Wolves: The Women Who Ruled England Before Elizabeth by Helen Castor This book was a bit dense for flighty me, but it was also a very absorbing and informative history of the four women who attempted to sort-of-kind-of rule England before Elizabeth I. Those women were the Empress Matilda, who ... more >
