Seller's Description:
Fine in fine jacket. Fine, fresh, unused copy (rem. dot) in equally fine dust jacket. Hardcover. First edition. 403 pp (with bibliography and index). Historical analysis of prominent and overlooked women of power during the Italian Renaissance. Many ruled in place of an absent husband, and engaged in treachery, war-like behavior, and lust. Others overshadowed their powerful husbands. The author reevaluates the reputations of Isabella d'Este, Lucrezia Borgia, and other dynastic women of the time.
