The 19-year-old Polish noblewoman arrived in 18th century Russia a virgin. Her mission? Spread her legs so the petulant, privileged and promiscuous Peter III can father a male heir. What did love have to do with it? Absolutely nothing. Enter that eternal wrinkle: Catherine had a mind of her own — and hated being mounted like a broodmare.
What does she crave that was so radical? To own her own body. To live without domestic violence. To empower her people through education and bring progressive Western ideas to Russia. Well, that last one was where she transcended the personal and made her grievances political. What makes our Cat so hip, though, isn’t how she gets off with a bit on the side but how, once liberated sexually, she gets on with the ideas that really turn her on. Whatever her self-doubts, she’s confident in the power of her own mind.
Within six months of arriving in Russia, Catherine gathers a close circle of allies and takes charge. Screw the “frailty” of “the weaker sex” — Catherine launches the political coup that defines her destiny. She risks her head and the lives of those she cherishes in order to liberate herself, her peers and her people. It’s a daring act. But it lands her on the throne as Empress. Peter, alas , dies in captivity.
