""The Lioness Roared" is a novel and important study of the meaning of 'kingship, ' adding as much to our appreciation of the social and political constructs of gender as to our understanding of the problems specific to female rule. Other scholars have investigated individual instances of women on the throne, but none as comprehensively as Charles Beem's treatment of the rule of British queens from Matilda to Victoria."--Howard Nenner, Smith College "Charles Beem examines the queens of England and demonstrates that Elizabeth I was not the only strong and fascinating woman to rule as consort or regnant. With many examples from the medieval period onward, this thoroughly researched and beautifully written study should find a wide and enthusiastic readership."--Carole Levin, Willa Cather Professor of History, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
