In this episode of Dr. Emma & Me, we dive into the lives of two extraordinary women of the 16th century: Mary of Hungary, the powerful queen and regent who shaped European politics, and Margaret Roper, the brilliant daughter of Sir Thomas More who defied expectations with her intellect and loyalty. Discover how their stories reveal the challenges and triumphs of women navigating a world ruled by men.
