PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--University of Phoenix is pleased to share that Kristen McQuinn, M.A., faculty development chair, has published a new book, The Two Isabellas of King John.

Published by Pen and Sword History, McQuinn's The Two Isabellas of King John examines and illuminates through a feminist lens the lives of Isabella of Gloucester and Isabelle of Angoulême, his two wives and relatively unknown queen-consorts.

"The publisher approached me about this topic," McQuinn shares. "They were aware of my blog and wanted to publish a series on women in medieval history. The book development required a great deal of research and understanding what women in a similar social class at that time would have been experiencing."
