Emily Randolph-Epstein’s Reviews > Sex with Kings: 500 Years of Adultery, Power, Rivalry, and Revenge > Status Update

No wonder we're still dealing with misogyny and having to hammer home the idea of consent. Some really interesting history here that's not often touched upon because royal mistresses haven't been considered "important" enough to the overall historical narrative. There are some fascinating woman discussed in this book and I want to read biographies of them all.
