Why read it?
2 authors picked Normal Women as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Philippa Gregory is known for her historical fiction (mostly for British queens), and although this book is nonfiction, she writes like a fiction author so it flows smoothly and holds your interest. It's about a thousand years of women in English history, mostly ones you never heard of, and it really changed my ideas about how a woman's place in society has changed over the years. NOT a nice line gradually trending upwards, but a rollercoaster of gains and losses. Fascinating. I'm going to wait a year or two and read it again.
This book was so insightful in the way that it looked at large numbers of ordinary women and how they lived in England for over 900 years; how they changed history and in turn how history changed them.
