Rubenhold is so deft at making figures from 200+ years in the past become sympathetic, and relatable...she's a great story teller as well, which is really the icing on the nonfiction cake.

Would have had 4 stars if it had just been more consistent in calling a rape a rape.

Very informative and rigorously researched, but I found the author’s glib and sensationalizing tone off-putting.
