Thanks to @thetudortimes for the fabulous review of Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy. ‘When is a queen not a queen? When she is a king! This fascinating stud of female rulers across the globe from ancient civilisations to the present day has a gem on every page’ ‘Norton’s work takes us on an immaculately-researched journey of discovery’ ‘But this is not just a list of women who wielded sovereign power, it is a carefully constructed exploration of how they obtained that power, how they used it, and, sometimes, how the lost it’ tudortimes.co.uk/books/book-rev… @wearefootnote #womenwhoruledtheworld #tudortimes

I can only echo these words - it's a terrific book!
Dr Elizabeth Norton@ENortonHistory

I was thrilled to receive an advanced copy of The Countess by @jehannewake and Katie Wake, to be published by @IthakaPress on 25 June. Here are my comments: With a political career spanning sixty years, Emily Cowper helped to shape the nineteenth century. In The Countess, Jehanne Wake and Katie Wake bring this important woman to life, shining a light on the political agency achieved by some women in an age where they had few legal rights. Vividly and clearly told, this is essential reading, illuminating not just the life of this powerful figure, but also a career that was almost unprecedented. #thecountess #emilycowper #lordmelbourne #lordpalmerston

Fun fact. When Emma of Normandy arrived in England to marry Aethelred II in 1002 her name was considered too foreign. It was therefore changed to the much more normal Aelfgifu. Strangely, Aelfgifu as a baby name seems to have completely died out #aelfgifu #emmaofnormandy

Happy World Book Day! My latest book is Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy, which looks at women and power from the dawn of recorded history. I spent years researching this as well as visiting places and archives associated with the women from all over the world. Available in all good booksellers 😀 @wearefootnote #womenwhoruledtheworld #femaleking #femalekings #reigningqueen #reigningqueens

I began writing about #misogyny & #democracy the night @HillaryClinton lost to #Trump in Nov 2016. That work led to this: academic.oup.com/isr/article/23… Now she cites it in @ForeignAffairs Full circle 🥰🙏🏽 Atm finishing a book chapter on how misogyny turns democracies authoritarian!

I can say from personal experience that Putin is threatened by strong women. As I argue in a new piece in @ForeignAffairs, he and his fellow autocrats have reason to fear us: Defending women's rights and combating authoritarianism is the same fight. foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…

Pomare IV of Tahiti was rather nonplussed to receive only a carriage and a set of drawing room furniture from Queen Victoria after requesting assistance in 1843 against French attempts to colonise her kingdom. Still, they let her take her copy of Women Who Ruled the World with her after she was driven out of her palace. So that’s all right then #womenwhoruledtheworld
