The book "The Hunting Queens"

Authors Markina I., Halibut I. Hardcover. The world of a woman of medieval Russia, including the tsar's wife or daughter, completely excluded hunting. The Petrine era involved a woman in a world previously considered "masculine". Women not only came out of the silence of the chambers into the noisy assembly halls, but also firmly settled "in the royal palaces", on the Russian throne. The attitude of the rulers of the XVIII century to hunting as an important part of court life is very indicative. Empresses with the emotionality characteristic of women saw hunting primarily as entertainment, a game idea. Each of them, depending on their upbringing, education and temperament, brought something new to the "peculiarities of national hunting". The album shows the hunting features of the rulers Anna Ioannovna, Elizabeth Petrovna and Catherine the Great.
