Maria theresa was known for what?

Answer 1

Maria Theresa was married to the Emperor of Austria, Francis I.

She was a very strong woman with a good sense of how to reign a country, but because she was female, she could not inherit the thrown from her father. Austria did not allow woman on the thrown. She did in fact inherit the title for her husband, so he became emperor so officially she was called Emperor's wife instead of Empress, though, Francis I never cared much for politics and wasn't even half as strong and vigorous as his wife, so she reigned, eventhough Austria refused to admit they were reigned by a woman. She was also the mother of Marie Antoinette.
