description: They were powerful women in a world that favoured men. They were cousins. And they were rivals for the same throne: one of them had to die.History knows them as Elizabeth I--Virgin Queen, Gloriana--and Mary Queen of Scots--seducer, conspirator and martyr. But behind these masks were real women full of intelligence, passion and ambition. Jane Dunn's biography brings us face to face with the complex reality of history's most fascinating women.
