TOC: Verina and her Daughters; The Early Life of Theodora; The Empress Theodora; Sophia; Martina; The most pious Irene; Saint Theodora; The Wives of Leo the Philosopher; The Tavern-keeper's Daughter; Two Imperial Sisters; Eudocia; Irene and Anna Comnena; A Breath of Chivalry; Euphrosyne Ducaena; The New Constantinople; Irene of Montferrat; Maria of Armenia; Anna of Savoy; The Last Byzantine Empresses.
McCabe narrates documented biographical histories of several centuries of Byzantine rulers: mothers, daughters, sisters as empress consort, regent, regnant, many given the same name upon marriage. These names are rare in CBW's database, which identifies Leo's wives, for example, but not all the men and women who appear in "Chivalry" or the last chapter. Some of these rulers resemble Catherine the Great, as ruthless leaders in court and military strategy (arranging murders of family members, for example). McCabe uses the term "feminism."

Mahan, Jabez Alexander. Famous Women of Vienna. Vienna: Halm and Goldmann, 1929; 1930. New York: Stechert, 1930.
On title page: By Dr. J. Alexander Mahan/ Author of "Vienna Yesterday and Today"/With thirteen portraits. Frontispiece: Maria Theresa in Youth. Dedication: "To Elsbeth." Facing table of contents, quoted verse: "The hand that rocks the cradle/ is the hand that rules the world." After 297 pages, a two-page list, "Sources of Information," and an index. The portraits (listed facing page one) "taken by permission from the Portraitsammlung der Nationalbibliothek," in six single-page, perpendicular pairings on glossy paper, some modern photographs; the list after frontispiece: Maria Theresa in Later Years; Marie Antoinette; Marie Caroline; Marie Louise; Empress Elizabeth; Fanny Elssler; Marie Vetsera; Therese Krones; Josephine Gallmeyer; Kathi Schratt [sic]; Pauline Metternich; Caroline Pichler. The Preface claims that no book in any language gathers "lives of all the more important women of Vienna," which itself "affords a glimpse at the medieval and modern history of the continent" (1). Mahan addresses types of reader: the traveler, "the men and women who love to get an interesting book and settle on the front porch, by the fireside, or perhaps propped up in bed," or the student (1-2). In the introduction he insists on the historical importance of women. Only two statues of women have been erected in Vienna, but "some of the men who now stand in plumed and petrified glory about the public places of Vienna, were no better than some of the women whose names are not usually mentioned in polite society" (4). The bad things done by men tend to be omitted, not so by women. "But in this volume the chapter headings have not been selected entirely with reference to goodness and virtue. So-called bad women have also been introduced....it will not be easy to distinguish" which are good or bad on further inquiry (5). "Women Who Rose from the Soil" and "Two Aristocrats" are chapters including five and two biographies, respectively, as listed.

McNeill, William. The Noble Women of the Staircase and Atrium Windows in the Lady Chapel of the Liverpool Cathedral. Liverpool: Daily Post, 1915.
A 176-pp. illustrated book about the Noble Women windows installed in the Lady Chapel, the first portion of the cathedral to be completed; a prosopography funded by the Liverpool Diocesan Girls Friendly Society, designed by J. W. Brown, and installed in 1910. The windows were damaged in World War II. This book recalls catalogues of portrait galleries. Val Jackson, Cathedral Archivist, considers the idea of a series of Noble Women to be "forward-thinking" in 1910 (Liverpool Cathedral, "Lady Chapel Archive Exhibition," http://www.liverpoolcathedral.org.uk/, 16 June 2010), but it was a standard phrase and concept.
