A Monstrous Regiment of Women is the second book in the Mary Russell series of mystery novels by Laurie R. King.
The title is taken from a 1558 polemic by John Knox, The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women, against the female sovereigns of his day, particularly Mary I of England and Mary, Queen of Scots.
