Synopsis
"From Matilda, the first woman who came within a hairs breadth of being crowned Queen of England, to the glorious reign of Elizabeth I, Helen looks at the dramatic, often violent, lives of the women who pursued power between them.
These are the stories of Matilda, Eleanor, Isabella, Margaret and the Tudor queens - Jane, Mary and Elizabeth. They are tales of dynastic strife, marriage, motherhood, divorce and betrayal but also of courage and determination to operate in world of double standards." [Netflix]
