Queens that Changed the World on SBS – For so long believed to be bit-players in histories dominated by men, some queens wielded extraordinary power, and ruled in ways that far surpassed their male counterparts.
In this series we discover what drove these women, how they asserted their authority, and reveal the times when, sometimes, being a woman had its advantages.
Episode One: The Virgin Queen: Elizabeth I
Elizabeth took the throne of a divided nation; it was her tolerance and wisdom that allowed peace, prosperity, and the English culture to flourish. Her response to numerous threats, such as the Spanish Armada, saw her become one of the most powerful leaders in history.
