Description
Pope Joan, a woman who defied the social conventions of her time, has been shrouded in legend for a thousand years. This riveting novel brings to life the story of a woman who disguised herself as a man and rose to become the only female to sit on the throne of St. Peter.
Donna Woolfolk Cross paints a sweeping portrait of an unforgettable heroine who struggles against the restrictions her soul cannot accept. Brilliant and talented, young Joan rebels against medieval social strictures forbidding women to learn. As she navigates a treacherous web of love, passion, and politics, she must confront the brutal realities of her world and the true cost of her power.
With its vivid portrayal of the Dark Ages and its enthralling, scholarly historical novel, Pope Joan is a compelling read for anyone interested in the complexities of human history.
