Man the XVIII century saw some true “iron ladies”
-
Being pregnant for so long and giving birth to so many healthy children who lived into adulthood is remarkable enough a feat to admire this woman.
-
Marie Antoinette's mom. Darn tough woman.
-
To think that we are able to watch this masterpiece for free. Thank you guys at TPP for all your work! ☺

Maria Theresa was a formidable woman, Frederick II of Prussia underestimated her steely resolve when he initially invaded Silesia. Considering how much warfare took place in that period, it was a considerable achievement she was able to hold the Austrian Empire together and keep it strong.
-
One thing which really gives insight into her character: she hired someone for the sole purpose of critiquing her every move, with brutal honesty.
-
I think she was an awesome chick .I visited her castle back in 1971. It was so beautiful. She did the best she could considering the times she lived in. Having 16 children and being a queen, that's not easy.She was a very strong woman!
-
Every city in Belgium has a Maria Theresa street. The enlightenment she and her son brought was a relief after the dark centuries under the Spanish Habsburgs.
-
I’m loving all the women’s biographies! I can’t wait for more!
-
This woman definitely was extraordinary as she had to manage to be a quite successful ruler of the huge state in times when most societies did not accept women as leaders. She, just like Elizabeth I and Katherine The Great proved that women can govern the country for prolonged period of time without major failures
-
My paternal grandparents had an Austro-Hungarian passport. They were ethnic Croatians. My grandfather sensed the winds of war and they came to the US in 1912. Two years prior to the beginning of World War I.
-
I think she really did amazing as a ruler as she could've with all the obstacles in front of her. Fighting for her own legitimacy and coming through that with a stronger Austria with a better economy is something to be commended for
-
Slight correction, Joseph was Holy Roman Emperor in his own right for years before his mother died. Maria Theresa was never elected Holy Roman Empress, that had to go to a male. So she made sure her husband was elected then her son after his death. When her husband died, she was technically not an Empress any longer. She was Archduchess of Austria, Queen of Hungary, and Bohemia. On her death, Joseph succeeded to those titles but he'd been crowned Emperor already.
-
Yes! One of the greatest Rulers of all time. One of the Greatest members of the Habsburg Dynasty and the woman who stood at the pinnacle of power in Europe in her time.
-
An icon a hustler and a woman who knew what she wanted and an marvelous ruler🎉
-
Excellent video. Much appreciated for info on strong women in history,! Much admiration for her struggles to rule Austria and surrounding areas all the while being pregnant and giving birth to so many children.
-
Everytime you say "Hapsburg" I think of the Hapsburg jaw 😁
-
She was such a formidable woman. Even while she was in labour, she still read the state papers and made decisions among her ministers.
-
May I suggest Jan Zizka, one of the greatest generals in history. And thank you for your amazing contribution.
