However understandable the impulse to universalise Anne Boleyn’s story might be, these attempts mostly fail to account for the very historic specificity of her narrative. How can we account for a woman who apparently had so much sexual and emotional appeal she had the power to cleave King and country from the control of the Catholic Church, yet whose downfall was so complete she became the first English queen consort to face the executioner? The story of Anne Boleyn is about dissenting from and challenging the dominant cultural norms; her example is that of the woman who created herself and, for a brief time, through her brilliance and her beauty and her will, maintained herself in a society in which quasi-independent female empowerment and agency were relatively unknown. She continues to speak to us as an avatar of feminine power. - Stephanie Russo, The Afterlife of Anne Boleyn: Representations of Anne Boleyn in Fiction and on the Screen

Day Six — Favourite Romantic Dynamic: Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII, King of England What could attract Henry to Anne? Was it her beauty? From the contemporary accounts we know, that Anne Boleyn was not considered as beautiful for her time, but still she had ‘something’ that drew attention. Was it beauty from the inside? Maybe her sharp intelligence and political acumen? Surely Anne was not afraid to speak out her opinions about many things, and this makes her different than other women who simply listened to what men had to say. Anne Boleyn was a woman before her time – she dared to reach for something that other women would only dream about. Henry VIII knew that Anne was an extraordinary woman and that she was a perfect match for him because they were similar in many ways. — Sylwia Sobczak Zupanec
