I am listening to this book while moving to a new place and entering into a huge transitional phase of life. I'm not catching everything, it is a long book and heavy on facts, but well written and easy to read. I also just find it incredibly soothing to read history about women during this time, a reminder that despite being written out of the story of humanity, we are, we do, and we have always done. 💜
Trying to stay off the phone mindlessly at bedtime and slowly work my way through this fascinating account of women in history for the last 900 years. I find I sleep better when I stare at the book and not the screen so there's definitely something to be said for putting the phone down before bed.😴😴
It's been a rough week. This brand new book arrived yesterday, which brightened my outlook.
From Goodreads:
Most histories have been written by men, about men, relegating women—with the exception of a few queens—to the shadows of time. Now, bestselling author Philippa Gregory reveals the importance of ordinary women, providing a more balanced and truer chronicle that expands and adds rich detail to the story of Great Britain.
