520 _aContains a collection of biographies examining the lives of the daughters and granddaughters of the Tsars of Russia since Paul 1. The Romanov daughters were described as rearing rulers, wielding regencies,vetting prime ministers,plotting coups and dodging bullets. These women were characterized as proto-feminists, privileged to make more men than ever ruled them, each came to understand what few others would believe: every pedestal is a precipice, palaces are prisons , and wealth will not purchase well-being.
