In February 1587, Mary Stuart was beheaded, after a web of conspiracies, power games and territorial disputes, largely engineered by a web of men, led Elizabeth I to order her execution. Blows of authoritarianism, power and dispute led mainly by male figures have crossed the ages, changed maps and above all resized the escalation of human suffering and exodus. Few women have participated in the leadership of these movements. "She Wolf" was an expression used in English theatre to classify queens of French origin who became involved in a male-dominated universe: that of politics. Over the generations, the collective memory crystallised the imaginary of these women who led armies and councils of ministers as something unnatural.
