Women's History Month - Elizabeth I & Anne Boleyn

Elizabeth I

Beloved Queen Bess, ruled England with the "heart and stomach" equal to that of her Father, Henry VIII, (and "a lion's heart" like her mother, Anne Boleyn), managed to follow her own bent, never marry, and lead her country into its golden age.


Anne Boleyn

Anne Boleyn has long been considered a fascinating and tragic figure, eclipsed by her famous daughter, relegated to a footnote of the Reformation, but without the passion she inspired and her insistent advocacy, Henry VIII would have most likely never divested himself of Katherine of Aragon or the Catholic Church and made himself the head of the Church of England.
