Historically, women's contributions to society were often ignored, leaving their stories untold. However, the rise of feminism has sparked a renewed interest in exploring and highlighting women's histories. This shift has led to a broader understanding of the impact women have had throughout time.

In her book "Six Tudor Queens," Alison Weir seeks to reclaim and narrate these overlooked stories, focusing on the lives of women during the Tudor era. By doing so, she provides a fresh perspective and a more comprehensive account of history, emphasizing the importance of women's roles in shaping events.
