They say that history is written by the victors and for much of time, men have been victorious.
Thus, history has concentrated on the actions and personalities of men.
In Femina, Janina Ramirez seeks to redress the balance by providing fascinating portraits of a range of exceptional Medieval women.
Femina shines with Ramirez's enthusiasm for sharing her Medieval favourites.
An enjoyable read for both, those already familiar with the Medieval period and the newly introduced.
I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All views expressed are my own.
Read this over the course of a year, dipping into a chapter in between books. But all the chapters were interesting, original, and self contained.
