Book Synopsis
By incorporating women into informal political networks, this work breaks new ground in the study of early modern European politics.

Trade Review
Sanchez has provided us with an illuminating study of the place of women in the court politics of Philip III's reign. Her fresh readings of how these women exercised their considerable political power should prompt historians of early-modern Spain to re-examine their understanding both of early-modern Spanish women and the court of Philip III. -- Elizabeth Lehfeldt Bulletin of the Society of Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies Sanchez's portrayal of court politics is convincing and solidly documented, and it broadens our understanding of not only a little-studied and often-derided reign but also the hidden logics of a crucial political institution, the court, in a period of transition toward government by royal favorites. -- James S. Amelang Journal of Modern History
