The bestselling, critically acclaimed women’s history from blockbuster author Philippa Gregory – adapted for teen readers!

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.
