Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christina of Sweden Christina of Sweden has sometimes been considered one of those problems that history has failed to solve. "On est en peine," says Arvede Barine, "de decider si elle fut sincere, ou si elle se moqua de l'Europe." At first sight the doubt may seem to be justified, but when the evidence has been examined it will be found that there is little to support it. What Christina believed herself to be, that she strove to show herself to the world. Her inordinate self-satisfaction robbed her of any motive to appear other than she was. Of data to enable the student to arrive at a comprehension of her singular character there is no lack. Her life, from childhood upwards, was lived in public; she was, from first to last, a centre of interest. Her enemies were envenomed, her friends enthusiastic; all had much to say and to write about her. Above all, her numerous letters, her maxims, the fragment of her autobiography, supply abundance of material for the formation of a conclusion. "One should speak neither good nor ill of oneself," she once wrote, "and should occasions arise when one is perhaps compelled to do so, it should be done in few words and ended as quickly as possible."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christina, Queen of Sweden With the exception of the interesting, but somewhat slipshod 'memoirs of Christina, ' by Henry Woodhead (2 vols., now out of print and hard to get, there is nothing like a complete or trustworthy account of Christina in English. In addition to some very old trans lations of foreign lives (french and German libels), and various more or less unsatisfactory notices in encyclopaedias and biographical dic tionaries, those worth naming are, that by Mrs. Jameson in her now antiquated Celebrated Female Sovereigns; the section devoted to her in Ranke's History of the Popes and an essay by Hardinge, the Lothian Prize Essay for 1880. Occasional allusions in historical and other literature show that little or nothing is commonly known about her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively and pathbreaking book, William Monter sketches Europe's increasing acceptance of autonomous female rulers between the late Middle Ages and the French Revolution. Monter surveys the governmental records of Europe's thirty women monarchs—the famous (Mary Stuart, Elizabeth I, Catherine the Great) as well as the obscure (Charlotte of Cyprus, Isabel Clara Eugenia of the Netherlands)—describing how each of them achieved sovereign authority, wielded it, and (more often than men) abandoned it. Monter argues that Europe's female kings, who ruled by divine right, experienced no significant political opposition despite their gender.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Court of Christina of Sweden, and the Later Adventures of the Queen in Exile The question has been raised, indeed, whether Christina, who has been accused Of having had so many lovers, ever really had any lover at all the secrets of her alcove having been almost as well kept as the secret Of the motive of her crime. She went, say her champions, no further than flirtation with her young favourites at Stock holm; no further than Platonic friendship with Cardinal Azzolino at Rome. She resembled, in short, according to that theory, the beautiful heroine in Mr. George Moore's Celibates, who delighted in dalliance, but was deterred by a modesty indistinguishable from terror from yield ing to any man's passionate advances; and she kept lovers at a distance for the same reason for which she refused to marry.

Book excerpt: One of PureWow’s 9 Books We Can’t Wait to Read in October! A chilling look into an alternate near future where a woman and her daughter seek refuge in a women-only colony, only to find that the safe haven they were hoping for is the most dangerous place they could be. Miranda Reynolds always thought she would rather die than live in Femlandia. But that was before the country sank into total economic collapse and her husband walked out in the harshest, most permanent way, leaving her and her sixteen-year-old daughter with nothing. The streets are full of looting, robbing, and killing, and Miranda and Emma no longer have much choice—either starve and risk getting murdered, or find safety. And so they set off to Femlandia, the women-only colony Miranda's mother, Win Somers, established decades ago. Although Win is no longer in the spotlight, her protégé Jen Jones has taken Femlandia to new heights: The off-grid colonies are secluded, self-sufficient, and thriving—and Emma is instantly enchanted by this idea of a safe haven. But something is not right. There are no men allowed in the colony, but babies are being born—and they're all girls. Miranda discovers just how the all-women community is capable of enduring, and it leads her to question how far her mother went to create this perfect, thriving, horrifying society.
