The She-King (The Consecrated Life of Elizabeth I of England)

"SHE only was a KING, and knew how to govern. How to support the dignity of her crown, and the repose and weal of her subjects, required the course she had taken": such was the tribute of Henry IV, King of France, to Elizabeth I, Queen of England.

This essay by Jacqueline Q. Louison is the second edition of "The She-King". It highlights a consecrated life to "duty". It establishes a subtle distinction between overpraise and discredit.
