Abstract

The article explores the complexities of Queen Elizabeth I's reign, particularly how her gender influenced her rule in a male-dominated society. It discusses the challenges she faced as a female monarch, including societal expectations and the perception of her authority compared to male rulers. Despite these challenges, Elizabeth effectively navigated her role, asserting her power while also embodying a distinctly feminine persona. The article highlights the theoretical framework of the "king's two bodies," which allowed her to separate her royal authority from her gender, ultimately shaping her legacy as a powerful and iconic ruler.
