Description
Normal Women 900 Years of Making History by Philippa Gregory For the first time, the story of England's history is told from the perspective of women, who have been invisible in this narrative for far too long. Philippa Gregory's groundbreaking book reveals the lives of ordinary women who lived and breathed history, from highway women and beggars to murderers and brides, housewives and pirates. These women, who made up half of the population, left their mark on the country through their daily lives, from ploughing fields to campaigning, writing, and loving. They were not just passive observers, but active participants who built society to be as diverse and varied as themselves. Their stories are hidden in the archives, waiting to be uncovered. Through meticulous research and a keen eye for detail, Gregory brings to life the 'normal women' who shaped England's past. Their stories are a testament to the power and resilience of women, and a reminder that history is not just about men, but about the women who made it.
