Uncommon Woman The Empress Frederick Daughter of Queen Victoria, Wife of the Crown Prince of Prussia, Mother of Kaiser Wilhelm

"Ms. Pakula...is both clear and thorough in her treatment of [the Empress's] many losing political battles...[and] has given us a striking example of 19th-century sexism; and the result is a detailed and horrifying account of a whole society gone wrong...we hear the voices of mother and daughter as we read 'An Uncommon Woman', and they are sharp, eloquent, and engaging. The result is a highly readable book that manages to be both a history of the times and a highly personal portrait."Pakula, Hannah is the author of 'Uncommon Woman The Empress Frederick Daughter of Queen Victoria, Wife of the Crown Prince of Prussia, Mother of Kaiser Wilhelm', published 1997 under ISBN 9780684842165 and ISBN 0684842165.
