Summary:"What queens would England have had if firstborn daughters, not firstborn sons, had inherited the throne? We may think if princesses as dutiful and elegant, wearing long flowing dresses, but the eldest daughters of England's kinds have been very different. Political intriguers.

Let's meet them."--Page 4 of cover
