In contrast to previous studies that have portrayed Mary Sidney as a demure, retiring woman, this biography shows that she was actually an outspoken and dynamic figure. As a Phoenix rising from her brother’s ashes, she transcended gender restrictions by publishing her brother’s writings, by writing and translating works which he would have approved, by assuming his role as literary patron, and by supporting the cause for which he died.
