Query: True portrait of a determined, strong woman

I have read this book, time and time again. While it is not a pure academic book, it does bring to light the reality of Mary's time, her circumstances, and the fact that she was quite a strong woman in her own right, the first reigning Queen of England. She kept her father's temper at bay, preserved her life and her faith, and against all odds, won the throne. And although the book does not go into enough detail as to the revolt, nor the effect her reign had on England, it does paint a complete picture of the woman that Mary was.
