"The book's clever structure plays a large part ... . Jestice succeeds in producing not just a penetrating, persuasive, and in certain respects innovative interpretation of the Ottonian crisis of 984, but also an impressive survey of female rule." (Knut Görich, German Historical Institute London Bulletin, Vol. 43 (2), November, 2021)
"The volume is gorgeously produced, and sumptuously illustrated with many well-rendered colour images of Ottonian artwork. The work as a physical book is a delight to behold. ... In a market with several other new and exciting offerings, scholars of the Ottonian world will have little reason to prioritise Imperial Ladies of the Ottonian Dynasty." (Fraser McNair, Royal Studies Journal, Vol. 6 (1), 2019)
