    and Diana, the virginal Roman goddess of the hunt, an association the queen favored. Although Elizabeth wasn’t a singularity in her pursuit of hunting, since female aristocrats on occasion participated in hunts, there was an inherent link between hunting and masculinity that Elizabeth repressed during her reign, especially in a historically patriarchal country.
