Virgins, Weeders and Queens
Ratings1
Average rating3
"Virgins, weeders and queens explores the full range of women's involvement in the garden: from the downtrodden medieval weeding woman and housewife to eighteenth-century nobility seeking retreat and solace through horticulture, from anxious Victorian women wondering how one gardened in corsets to their adventurous plant-hunting 'sisters', and up to the modern day." --book jacket.

I am still digesting this book so it may get another star sometime in the future. This book is just chuck full of facts, little insights, names, dates and just so much information that I found it both fascinating and frustrating to read. That aside I thought it was a really interesting read and would recommend it to any one who has an interest in gardening!
