Das Endergebnis ist eine brillante, fesselnde Lektüre mit einer fesselnden Mischung aus Frauen, die vom Bekannten bis zum Weniger Bekannten (und\/oder kaum Bekannten) reicht. Es deckt die gesamte gesellschaftliche Skala ab, von den Monarchen bis zu den Armen und den Schwierigkeiten und Nöten, die es mit sich bringt, sich durch die vielen Schichten dazwischen zu bewegen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eNorton orientiert sich in ihrem Buch am Shakespeare-Konzept der „Sieben Zeitalter der Menschen“ (bekannt aus Shakespeares Rede von Jaques in „Wie es euch gefällt“). Somit entspricht jedes der Kapitel den in der Rede berühmten Lebensabschnitten; „das miauende Kind“ bis hin zu „zweiter Kindlichkeit“ und „bloßem Vergessen“. Alles wird der Reihe nach behandelt, entsprechend der Reise der Tudor-Frauen. Ungeachtet der männlichen Präferenz der damaligen Zeit werden die Unterschiede in der Bildung von Frauen zwischen den verschiedenen Klassen abgedeckt, bis hin zu den klassenbedingten Unterschieden bei der Kinderbetreuung und -erziehung. Dies gilt für Frauen bis zum frühesten Transaktionsalter, in dem die Ehe zum Mittelpunkt des Tages wird. (Hier tauchen einige interessante Momente auf, nicht zuletzt Tudors Versuche erfolgreicher Verhütungsmethoden). Wir sind mit der Politik dieser Zeit bestens vertraut, und Norton packt dies gründlich aus. Das Schöne an dem Buch ist jedoch die Entdeckung der anderen Wege und Anliegen der Frauen dieser Zeit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn einer für mich unerwarteten Erkenntnis positioniert sich Norton in dem Kapitel des Lebens, in dem eine Frau Witwenschaft erleben kann, als den Samen für ihre Befreiung – eine Sichtweise, die normalerweise nicht gleichbedeutend mit dieser Zeit ist. Das Gleiche gilt für Unternehmen und Karrieren, wo in der Tat seit langem behauptet wird, dass Karrieren außerhalb der Ehe, der damit verbundenen Politik und der Kinderangelegenheiten praktisch nicht existierten. Norton erkennt dies an, liefert aber auch interessante positive Aspekte in den unzähligen Beispielen von Frauen, die in männerdominierten Sphären und Umgebungen Wege bahnen, oft entscheidend erst durch den Tod eines männlichen Ehepartners, woraufhin – ironischerweise eine Wendung des Schicksals – gerechtere Geschäftsbedingungen eingeführt werden , Geldverdienen und Entscheidungsfindung werden der Frau übertragen. Vielleicht im Widerspruch zu der Vorstellung, dass ihr Leben zu Ende war (obwohl es erwähnenswert ist, dass diese „Vorteile“ größer waren, als die Heirat von vornherein lukrativer war; entweder im Hinblick auf einen bereits bestehenden Titel oder ein florierendes Geschäft). ). Dennoch plädiert Norton nachdrücklich dafür, dass dieser zweite Lebensabschnitt einer Tudor-Frau ein bedeutendes, bisher nicht dagewesenes Maß an Freiheit und Autonomie bietet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eWeit entfernt von der oft vertretenen Ansicht, dass die Rolle der Tudor-Frauen typischerweise unerträglich, eingeschränkt und zur Ware gemacht sei, stellt Norton diesen unbequemen Wahrheiten bis zum Schluss bemerkenswerte Beispiele starker, eigensinniger, erfolgreicher, rachsüchtiger, dynamischer, intelligenter und inspirierender Frauen gegenüber über alle Klassen hinweg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Dieses Buch hat meine Faszination für diese Zeit erneut geweckt und in mir nur den Appetit geweckt, weiter über einige der spezifischen Frauen zu lesen, die Norton dem Leser vorstellt.
