These are the women who ruled, the women who founded dynasties, the women who fought for religious freedom, their families and love. These are the women who made a difference, who influenced countries, kings and the Reformation.
Heroines of the Tudor World focuses on the women who lived through the Renaissance and Reformation, examining the threats and challenges they faced and how they overcame them. Studying regents, writers, nuns and queens, and taking in the likes of Elizabeth Barton, Anne Boleyn, Catherine de Medici, Bess of Hardwick and Elizabeth I, Sharon Bennett Connolly shines the spotlight on the women who helped to shape Early Modern Europe.
A Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, Sharon has studied history academically and just for fun – and has even worked as a tour guide at a castle. She also writes the popular history blog, www.historytheinterestingbits.com and co-hosts the podcast 'A Slice of Medieval'. Sharon regularly gives talks on women's history, for historical groups, festivals and in schools; her book 'Silk and the Sword: The Women of the Norman Conquest' is a recommended text for teaching the Norman Conquest in the National Curriculum. She is a feature writer for 'All About History' and 'Living Medieval' magazines and her TV work includes Australian Television's 'Who Do You Think You Are?'
