Franks. - "This interdisciplinary edited volume explores the notion of queenship as it has manifest from antiquity to the present, in contexts ranging from political acts to art production. Featuring the work of scholars, educators, curators and artists, this book gathers temporally and geographically distinct ideas about queenship into a single discursive space. Invigorating the conversation around powerful historical women and their legacies, the contributors discuss 'queenship' as a concept with contemporary urgency-from North America to Africa, and Europe to Asia-foregrounding critical methodologies and creative interventions that address the gaps within archives and current cultural and socio-political representation"--
