Venice elected its dukes and then had to work out what to do about their wives. Staley follows the dogaressas across a thousand years of the republic: the coronations, the trade dynasties, the sumptuary laws written specifically to control them, and the women who ran households, fortunes and factions in a state that preferred to deny they had any power at all.
