Description
Discover the untold stories of Regency England's most fascinating women. A feminist pop history that shines a light on those who defied convention and lived life on their own terms, these iconoclastic heroines have been lost to history. From Dido Elizabeth Belle, a slave-turned-Englishwoman with a remarkable story, to Caroline Herschel, a pioneering astronomer who discovered eight comets, and Judith Montefiore, a Jewish woman who wrote the first English language Kosher cookbook. These women, along with many others, are reimagined in this book that challenges the popular image of Regency England. Bea Koch's engaging narrative brings to life the independent-minded women who broke the mold of their time, revealing a more nuanced and complex picture of early 19th century England.
