In this episode of Dr. Emma & Me: Parallel Lives, we explore the intertwined legacies of two powerful women who shaped early modern Europe in very different courts—Isabel Clara Eugenia of Spain and Anna of Denmark. Both daughters of dynasties and cultural patrons with sharp political instincts, they carved out influence within their respective spheres. Join Rebecca and Dr. Emma as they trace the lives, challenges, and impact of these remarkable women navigating monarchy, motherhood, and power on the world stage.
