What We Think

Philippa Gregory’s The Red Queen leans into its historical setting, portraying faith and tradition earnestly rather than filtering everything through a modern lens. Minimal woke influence here, a welcome throwback to letting history be history.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The Red Queen is a historical novel that largely keeps characters' complexity rooted in period-appropriate motivations. While the focus on a determined female protagonist is notable, the narrative doesn't seem warped by modern identity politics or forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional religion, family, and historical attitudes are depicted seriously and form a key part of the character's worldview. If anything, faith and duty are emphasized rather than undermined, and historical context outweighs any modern reinterpretation.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Diverse perspectives (including devout religiosity and medieval values) are not ridiculed; the world presented is morally complex, not ideologically uniform. The book provides room for traditional, period-appropriate worldviews.
