Summary
The bestselling, critically acclaimed women’s history from blockbuster author Philippa Gregory – adapted for teens!
Join multi-award-winning author Philippa Gregory as she tells the story of English women over 900 years. There are plenty of books profiling exceptional women – this book is DIFFERENT. It’s about ordinary, everyday women – erased from history for centuries.
Meet highway women and blacksmiths, pirates and ‘female husbands’. Meet women who went to war, ploughed the fields, campaigned, wrote, rode in jousts, issued their own currency, built ships, invented things and rioted – a LOT! Their story is one of ingenuity, diversity, rebellion, survival – and sisterhood.
