In Volume 3, the Strickland sisters delve further into the lives of England's queens, examining their influence on the country's history during some of the most pivotal moments in British history. The biographies include a combination of personal anecdotes, historical facts, letters, and other primary sources that bring the lives of these royal women to life. Agnes Strickland is particularly noted for her empathetic portrayals, often shedding light on the private struggles and public responsibilities of these women.The work remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in English history, particularly in the Tudor and early Stuart periods, offering insights into the monarchy from a distinctly female perspective. This volume continues the sisters' effort to highlight the strength and resilience of the queens who shaped the course of English history.
