The careers of the Ottonian queen and empress Adelheid and Countess Matilda of Tuscany reveal a growth of opportunities for women to access wealth and power. These two women are analyzed under three categories: their relationships with family and friends, how they managed their property (particularly land), and how they ruled. This analysis encourages a better understanding of gender relations in both the past and the present.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Penelope Nash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1349958697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781349958696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.68d","brand":"Penelope Nash","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44213155430655,"sku":"9781349958696","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5d4b62a4-1ef3-4a78-8748-97c4470aa82d.jpg?v=1692112371","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/empress-adelheid-and-countess-matilda-penelope-nash-9781349958696","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
