The first iron lady : a life of Caroline of Ansbach

Dennison, Matthew (author.).

Summary: Often compared to Catherine the Great or Elizabeth I, Caroline of Ansbach is the great queen Britain forgot it had. A thinker, politician, schemer, patroness and matriarch, this brilliant book offers a remarkable portrait of a woman of great political astuteness and ambition, a radical icon of female power.
