Book Descriptions:

The Wars of the Roses are usually described in terms of the men involved, but these years were also packed with women's drama and alive with female energy. In this completely original book, Sarah Gristwood sheds light on a neglected dimension of English history: the impact of Tudor women on the Wars of the Roses. She examines, among others, Cecily Neville, who was deprived of being queen when her husband died at the Battle of Wakefield; Elizabeth Woodville, the commoner who married Edward VI in secret, and Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII, whose love and ambition for her son knew no bounds.
