About the book

Explores the many ways the unmarried, childless Elizabeth represented herself and the ways members of her court, foreign ambassadors, and subjects represented and responded to her as a public figure. Looks particularly at the gender constructions, role expectations, and beliefs about sexuality that influenced her public persona an the way she was perceived as a female Protestant ruler.
