Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chess Queen finally arrived. She was live now, and kickin' up her heels! No matter that her journey covered several continents and arrived 500 years late, she was free to roam the chessboard. Queen Isabella of Spain had gained power; she could wield political authority. She did, and the world was never the same. Isabella set the pace. Black Queens, and white queens became "Mad Queens" as their chess pieces were freed to run amuck across the chessboard, and that changed chess forever. Though they left the starting blocks at the same time, it took about another 600 years for women to acquire the Chess Queen's freedom of movement and choice and that, to this day, isn't everywhere. But the Chess Queen's travails on the board, since she must aggressively confront mostly male opposition, made her resourceful. Her Chess Queen's Gambit became the most popular opening, used in the highest levels of chess. The women's gambit, the carefully considered strategy to enhance Women's Power, works also as we watch women march on and make history happen.

Download or read book The Queen's Dwarf written by Ella March Chase and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A richly imagined, gorgeously written historical novel set in the Stuart court featuring a unique hero: Jeffrey Hudson, a dwarf tasked with spying on the beautiful but vulnerable queen It's 1629, and King Charles I and his French queen Henrietta Maria have reigned in England for less than three years. Young dwarf Jeffrey Hudson is swept away from a village shambles and plunged into the Stuart court when his father sells him to the most hated man in England—the Duke of Buckingham. Buckingham trains Jeffrey to be his spy in the household of Charles' seventeen-year-old bride, hoping to gain intelligence that will help him undermine the vivacious queen's influence with the king. Desperately homesick in a country that hates her for her nationality and Catholic faith, Henrietta Maria surrounds herself with her "Royal Menagerie of Freaks and Curiosities of Nature"—a "collection" consisting of a giant, two other dwarves, a rope dancer, an acrobat/animal trainer and now Jeffrey, who is dubbed "Lord Minimus." Dropped into this family of misfits, Jeffrey must negotiate a labyrinth of court intrigue and his own increasingly divided loyalties. For not even the plotting of the Duke nor the dangers of a tumultuous kingdom can order the heart of a man. Though he is only eighteen inches tall, Jeffrey Hudson's love will reach far beyond his grasp—to the queen he has been sent to destroy. Full of vibrant period detail, The Queen's Dwarf by Ella March Chase is a thrilling and evocative portrait of an intriguing era.
