Graphic: Religious bigotry, Misogyny, Sexual violence, Torture, Sexism, Murder, and Forced institutionalization

After an interesting read about medieval women's achievements, the book suddenly brings in gender politics and suggests perhaps the women didn't identify as women... Thus undoing the point of the book which presumably was to celebrate women's history.
