As Antonia Fraser brilliantly and conclusively proves, they (the six wives) were rich and feisty characters. They may have been victims of Henry's obsession with a male heir, but they were not willing victims. On the contrary, they exhibited remarkable degrees of spirit of defiance of which women living now might still be proud . They displayed considerable strength and intelligence at a time when their sex supposedly possessed little of either. -- paraphrasing front fold over blurb.
