About the Author

I published a book titled “When Women Ruled the World: Making the Renaissance in Europe” last fall with W.W. Norton and Co. Alas, we were unable to print in color the many rich Renaisssance images I use to make my new argument about the sisterly relations among the four queens I discuss. By creating a blog online, I hope to make accessible to my readers in digital media those images in all their blazing glories and glinting detail that are far more persuasively reproduced in the full color, and back lit glow, than in less malleable print.
