A WHO’S WHO OF TUDOR WOMEN (index) Read This First: My name is Kathy Lynn Emerson.
A Who’s Who of Tudor Women began as a project to update and correct my very out-of-date collective biography, Wives and Daughters: The Women of Sixteenth Century England, published by a small scholarly press in 1984. That accomplished, I continue to add entries and make corrections and additions to those already in place. I am not affiliated with any institution of higher learning, nor do I have a doctorate. If such things matter to you, you may call me an “independent scholar.” These pages are not meant to be scholarly or all-inclusive. I write all the entries in A Who's Who of Tudor Women myself. I include a likeness after the entry if one is available. The women in A Who's Who of Tudor Women lived at least part of their lives between 1485 and 1603.
Entries are arranged alphabetically by the maiden name of the subject or by married surname if the birth name is unknown. How the Who's Who Came to Be: Titles used in Tudor Times: Bindoff, S.

Estevanico The first known Muslim in the American West was probably Estevanico (ca.1500-1539). Estavenico was killed by Zunis at their village of Hawikuh in northern New Mexico, who may have considered him a witch. Sources: Black Student Union, Princeton University, Did You Know? African American Muslims Estevanico was only the first of many Muslims who were part of the African diaspora.

Mann and Susanna Hecht Imagine flying, impossibly, over the Earth in the 17th century—during the time described in American history books as the colonial period, when Europeans swarmed into the New World to dominate an almost empty wilderness. Instead, you would see tens of millions of native people already living in the Americas, joined by an extraordinary flow not of European colonists but of African slaves. Up until the early 19th century, almost four times as many Africans as Europeans came to the Americas. Looking down from above, you wouldn’t know that the tiny numbers of Europeans were supposed to be the stars of the story.
