This was a great look at early, early, eaaarly feminist literature. Christine’s goal is to refute the popular and rampant misogynistic ideas of women at the time and also give hope to her female audience through the stories of iconic women in history. I enjoyed many of the stories, my fave probably being the Amazon’s. However towards the middle and end it got very repetitive and ladled with religious superiority. A person can only take so many torture stories and glorification of virginal martyrs.
