Women were considered fragile and incompetent to do anything, which made them quite useless in 16th century European society, and made people wonder if they were fit to rule. Deeply influenced by the misogyny and critiques against a female ruler because of their assumed weak and feebleness, Elizabeth I diligently presented herself as a valuable and strong Queen and she pushed aside any person who…
