概要

Globally famous and yet universally misunderstood – these are the complex and utterly engrossing stories of Britain's royal women behind the public façade. Saints or sinners? Perfect princesses or difficult duchesses? Monarchy’s saviours or its destroyers?

They rank among the world’s most famous women – and the most misunderstood. Throughout history, royal women have been sanitised and sanctified by supporters, distorted and demonised by critics, pitted against each other, and misrepresented by the media.

In this extraordinary portrait, journalist Catherine Mayer examines the lives of the central players, and the echoes and parallels that have run throughout history. The stories of Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I, Victoria, Elizabeth II, Diana, Camilla, Kate and Meghan uncovered by Catherine Mayer are far more fascinating, poignant, surprising and enraging than any of the myths. Divide and Rule reveals these extraordinary women in all their complexity, charting their achievements, quirks, kindnesses, cruelties and profound influence.

Drawing on key sources, many of whom have never spoken publicly before, this book also demonstrates the ways in which history repeats itself – to the detriment not only of royal women but all of us.

批評家のレビュー

Praise for Charles: The Heart of A King:

A must-read … this important book is nothing short of a manual to our future King’s world-view … and Mayer's book is the first comprehensive attempt to explore and explain what may lie ahead. ― GQ

Primarily a celebration of a very special man. ― Sunday Times

Praise for Attack of The 50ft Woman:

“Empowering and full of hope, Attack of the 50ft Women made me feel 50ft tall. Glass ceilings beware.” Sarah Shaffi, editor at The Bookseller and writer for Stylist

“Electrifying. Full of chutzpah, knowledge and vision.” Elif Shafak

“Comprehensive, wide-ranging and journalistically rigorous. Attack of the 50Ft Women is an important and timely book.” Sunday Express
