Un'altra rivoluzione è nata in Francia prima del 1789: quella di Maria di Francia. Se non è raccontata nei manuali è perché, a differenza della prima, è una rivoluzione fallita. Le idee di Maria non compirono il salto necessario per trasformarsi, come quelle degli Illuministi, in arieti capaci di abbattere le mura della Bastiglia. Perfino la memoria di Maria si perse, e la sua vera identità si confuse. Le sue idee sulle donne, sul rapporto tra i sessi e sull'amore, tuttavia, seppero far emergere una visione - per la prima volta - del tutto femminile del mondo.

Королева — самая могущественная фигура на шахматной доске.

Как она оказалась на шахматной доске? Какая из могущественных королев Средневековья стала вдохновением для этого образа? И как его развитие отражало положение женщин у власти в реальной жизни?

Growing up in poverty, and neglected and abused by her own mother and stepfather, Jaz Ampaw-Farr was destined to become a statistic. Her story was changed, however, by five teachers who made a point of putting human connection first, despite the challenges of the education system.
