Queen of Feminism

Queen Elizabeth was crowned the Queen of England in 1533. She was proposed to several times, but she turned down all of the purposes. She remained unmarried for the rest of her life. What Elizabeth I did - or did not do was unusual at her time. Most women, no, let's call them with their right name - girls, married at the age of 11 or 12, while Elizabeth stayed independent for her whole life. Even though she was not a man nor a wife to a king, she knew how to rule.
Throughout the time she ruled England, 1558-1603, she managed great things, among others: defeating the Spainsh Armanda. Though, we asume she is more famous for starting the British Empire. Just listen to those words: British Empire. You can nearly hear the power of the meaning. It is amazing what she have done, and what is more amazing is that she was a woman.

Queen Elizabeth is a huge inspiration to all feminsts all over the world. Women at her time did not have any good position, but she put herself in a higher position and were therefore not ruled by any men. As we stated earlier, she did not have a husband, and that increases her power as an icon for independent women.

The funny thing is that she viewed the female as the weak gender, but she taught of herself as a King, a male King, inside of a female body, and who could possibly be a better inspirational source and true role model for young girls, than the Queen herself?

  1. So basically women looked up to a queen who did not see herself as a woman, and who thought females were weaker then males.
