It delves into her political acumen, relationships, and the socio-political landscape of Europe during her reign.

It sets the stage for Maria Theresa's ascension to the throne at the young age of twenty-four, highlighting her remarkable qualities, including intelligence, strong will, and a deep sense of duty to her people.
