Reviews
“This well-crafted study is a must-read for any scholar interested in Spanish and European political history, power, the monarchy, queenship, gender, and disability studies.” (Nuria Silleras-Fernandez, Early Modern Women Journal, Vol. 14 (2), 2020)
“An excellent scholarly biography of Queen Juana I, daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella. … Fleming examines Juana’s political significance as Queen of Castile and places her within the context of sixteenth century attitudes toward female rule in the Iberian peninsula and beyond. … Well written, well researched and interesting to read. Highly recommended.” (Carolyn Harris, royalhistorian.com, June, 2018)
