Title: Tudor Women: Queens and Commoners by Alison Plowden ISBN: 0-7509-2880-8 Publisher: Sutton Publishing Pub. Date: August, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $12.95 |

Summary: Not much about commoners
Comment: I was disappointed, mostly because I was interested in the how women of the Tudor period lived. The book gave very few details about the average woman, it was mostly about the queens of the period. I gave it 3 stars because what it did do, it did very well. It was a fast moving overview of the Royal Tudor women but there was very little depth.
Rating: 4
Summary: Great biography!
Comment: It's a good book,but it lacks detail.I kept getting Margaret Beaufort and Margaret Pole mixed up because it didn't explain better. Still,it has good stuff because it has feeling; you can feel how daring Catherine Howard felt,you can feel the disapointment of poor Bloody Mary.It almost makes up for what it lacks.

Summary: Easy to read, but lacks depth
Comment: This book presents, in chronological order, the stories of the women of the Tudor family starting With Margaret of Richmond, Henry the 7th mother, and the founder of the Tudor line.
The writing in this book is easy to read, and the author is factually correct. However, the biographies lack any real depth to them, and there is little new information in this book and it mostly just skims over the surface of these women's lives.
The bulk of the book deals with the women of the tudor royal family. (Mary and Elizabeth Tudor and Henry 8th's queens). There is some discussion on the lives of non-royal women, but 95% of this book is on Royalty.
This book is a great introduction to the lives of Women in 16th century england, but don't get this book if you have read Extensively on 16th century england, because it primarly relies on secondary sources, and contribes very little in the way of new information.
