From the gilded courts of Europe to the jewelled palaces of the East, Princesses presents a captivating portrait of royal women throughout history, chronicling the lives, intrigues, and enduring legacies of those who wore the crown by birthright or by marriage. Authors Christine Levite and Julie Moline cast a wide historical net, profiling a rich array of princesses — from legendary figures of antiquity to the glamorous royals of the modern era — illuminating the extraordinary privileges and crushing constraints that defined their worlds. Written with an accessible yet authoritative tone, the book argues that the role of the princess is far more complex than fairy tale mythology would suggest, revealing women who navigated treacherous political landscapes, shaped dynasties, and occasionally defied the very institutions that created them. Franklin Watts' 1989 publication stands as a compelling survey of feminine power within the rigid hierarchies of royal life, leaving readers to wonder which princess's story resonates most deeply across the centuries.
