zlib_text: QUEENSHIP AND POWER
  Series Editors:  Carole Levin and Charles Beem
  This series brings together monographs, edited volumes, and textbooks from scholars 
  specializing in gender analysis, women’s studies, literary interpretation, and cultural, 
  political, constitutional, and diplomatic history. It aims to broaden our understanding 
  of the strategies that queens—both consorts and regnants, as well as female regents— 
  pursued in order to wield political power within the structures of male-dominant soci-
  eties. In addition to works describing European queenship, it also includes books on 
  queenship as it appeared in other parts of the world, such as East Asia, Sub-Saharan 
  Africa, and Islamic civilization.
