Susan Bordo

This biography reconstructs the life of the second wife of Henry VIII, drawing on scholarly studies and critical analysis to define an English queen who has been alternately viewed as a whore, martyr, feminist icon and cautionary tale over the centuries.

This was an interesting look at Anne Boleyn as a cultural icon, how historians and fiction authors have changed her story to suit their own needs or prejudices. However, I didn't really learn anything new reading this aside from the fact that Natalie Dormer is a far bigger fan of Anne Boleyn than I thought, she was a big reason why the Tudors changed their portrayal of her in the second season. Overall, an interesting read but I wish it had more information about Anne.
