N2  - "Kuuluisia naisia 1" by Ellen Fries is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book centers on the life and reign of Maria Theresa, the first and only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions, reflecting on the challenges she faced as a young queen following her father's unexpected death. It delves into her political acumen, relationships, and the socio-political landscape of Europe during her reign.  The opening of the book vividly describes the tumultuous situation in the Habsburg Empire following the death of Emperor Charles VI. It sets the stage for Maria Theresa's ascension to the throne at the young age of twenty-four, highlighting her remarkable qualities, including intelligence, strong will, and a deep sense of duty to her people. The initial chapters outline the precarious political environment, her struggles to secure her inheritance against external threats, and her determination to establish her authority amid the skepticism of her male-dominated court, thus foreshadowing the significant role she would play in shaping European history.
