Synopsis

The Chess Queen finally arrived. She was live now, and kickin' up her heels! No matter that her journey covered several continents and arrived 500 years late, she was free to roam the chessboard. Queen Isabella of Spain had gained power; she could wield political authority. She did, and the world was never the same. Isabella set the pace. Black Queens, and white queens became "Mad Queens" as their chess pieces were freed to run amuck across the chessboard, and that changed chess forever.
Though they left the starting blocks at the same time, it took about another 600 years for women to acquire the Chess Queen's freedom of movement and choice and that, to this day, isn't everywhere. But the Chess Queen's travails on the board, since she must aggressively confront mostly male opposition, made her resourceful. Her Chess Queen's Gambit became the most popular opening, used in the highest levels of chess. The women's gambit, the carefully considered strategy to enhance Women's Power, works also as we watch women march on and make history happen.
