Miles, Rosalind

Traces world history from a woman's point of view, exploring the role women played in various historical events.

A feminist retelling of the Arthurian legend is seen through the eyes of its heroine, Queen Guenevere, who is courageous and beautiful even when she is forced to choose between her king and the noble knight Sir Lancelot.

Arthur and Guenevere have reconciled and Guenevere's lover Lancelot has left for his childhood home, and Camelot is once again at peace, but that peace is threatened by political forces that are trying to ruin the tranquility of Camelot.

The conclusion of the Guenevere trilogy begins with the epic quest in search of the Holy Grail and ends with the fall of Camelot and the death of Arthur.

Isolde, a healer, falls instantly in love when she is called upon to secretly treat Sir Tristan of Lyonesse, who was injured in battle against her Queen mother's troops, but the young lovers find themselves caught in the crosscurrents of fate when Isolde is promised in marriage to Tristan's uncle, the King of Cornwall.

Isolde, heir to the throne of the queens, leaves her marriage to King Mark of Cornwall to return to her beloved Western Isle, where she faces a growing threat from a neighboring kingdom's ruthless king.

Isolde is trapped in a loveless marriage to the mean-spirited King Mark of Cornwell but finds a means of escape when her life becomes linked with a physician in France who shares her name.

Examines women's contribution to the evolution of the human race, and the female achievement on every level-cultural, commerical domestic, emotional, and social.
