In the turbulent fifteenth‑century, Sarah Gristwood explores the roles of seven royal women—Cecily Neville, Margaret Beaufort, Marguerite of Anjou, Anne Neville, Elizabeth Woodville, Elizabeth of York, and Margaret of Burgundy—whose births, alliances, and strategies shaped the outcome of the Wars of the Roses. Through careful biography, Gristwood illuminates the political power women wielded as parents, consorts, and diplomats. Their decisions guided the rise of Henry VII, the end of civil war, and the birth of the Tudor dynasty, illuminating the female forces behind England’s transition to modernity.
