Today, when we think of women of the past, we often think of the 1800s
and 1900s – crinolines and stage coaches, bonnets and balls – a time
when women were told they were naturally inferior to men, and must stay
at home while men went out to work and have fun.
HUGE MISTAKE! There is so much more to women’s history than bonnets and
big dresses! Ordinary women have been doing extraordinary things FOR
EVER – it just didn’t make the history books (written by men!).
Join multi-award-winning author Philippa Gregory as she tells the story
of ordinary English women, making history for 900 years. Meet farmers,
highwaywomen, pirates, ‘female husbands’, slaves, soldiers, criminals,
writers, inventors, rioters and more – protesting, working, playing,
taking risks, getting rich (and getting even!). Their story is one of
ingenuity, diversity, rebellion, survival – and sisterhood.
Illustrated throughout by award-winning printmaker Alexis Snell.
