| QUEENSHIP AND POWER Carole Levin and Charles Beem, editors |
This new series will focus on monographs and edited volumes 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 societies. While the majority of works published will
most likely describe European queenship, we are also keenly
interested in manuscripts on queenship as it appeared in other
parts of the early modern world, such as East Asia, Sub-Saharan
Africa, and Islamic civilization
