The  careers of the Ottonian queen and empress Adelheid and Countess Matilda of  Tuscany reveal a growth of opportunities for women to access wealth and power.  These two women are analyzed under three categories: their relationships with  family and friends, how they managed their property (particularly land), and  how they ruled. This analysis encourages a better understanding of  gender relations in both the past and the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-02-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137590886\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-58514-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210.0cm x148.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 292.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752446685324,"sku":"9781137590886","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137590886.jpg?v=1762354768","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137590886","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
