She Wolf

Queen Margaret was the original Cersei Lannister. She was the model for Claire Underwood. She was a woman so cut throat and cold, she would make Lady MacBeth s**t her pants. Only, none of that is true. From Hillary Clinton's emails, to Margaret of Anjou cursing the royal family, the way we view women in positions of power hasn't changed much.

People don't tend to realize that Shakespeare's histories are propaganda, and even 500 years later, very little has changed: Artists need to appeal to government for funding, leaders and ruled want to be praised, and women with power are more terrifying than the devil.

So here we are in the 21st century, and the question still begs to be asked: If all history remembers of you are the lies, does the truth even matter?
