SUMMARY:Monstrous Regiment of Women: Queens of Europe
DESCRIPTION:During the early modern period\, male rule was the standard in European states and kingdoms. Due to accidents and other circumstances\, women sometimes presented the only\, or best\, candidates to ascend to the throne. \nGiven people’s misgivings about female political power\, queens like Elizabeth I of England\, Isabella of Spain\, Christina of Sweden\, and Catherine the Great of Russia had to fight hard just to stay on their thrones\, and even harder to wield power and have their peers and subjects take them seriously. The period from 1400s-1700s actually witnessed more ruling queens and female regents than in the 1800s\, or even most of the 1900s. \nJohanna Luthman\, Ph.D.\, explains the role of women leaders in Europe between the 1400s and 1700s in this fascinating look at the female rulers of early modern Europe and the many challenges they met.

SUMMARY:The Man Who Punched Jefferson Davis with author Ben Wynne
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes we forget that not all Southerners were pro-secession during the Civil War era. One of the most vocal pro-Unionists was Henry Foote\, who served as both a U.S. Senator and a Confederate Congressman and was one of Jefferson Davis’s most outspoken critics. Foote’s unorthodox and temperamental life was punctuated with several duels and fistfights with notable people and ultimately led to exile to Europe. \nAuthor and historian Ben Wynne will discuss his biography of this fascinating historical figure\, The Man Who Punched Jefferson Davis: The Political Life of Henry Stuart Foote\, Southern Unionist.
