Femina: A New History of the Middle Ages by Janina Ramírez

challenging informative inspiring medium-paced

5.0

Absolutely fantastic! Challenging our understanding of what women's lives in the Middle Ages were like, drawing pertinent parallels with contemporary life, plus providing much-needed context to help readers understand the nuance and depth of certain finds and historical details - all the while being inclusive and drawing on a breadth of research and cutting edge scientific developments. As Janina herself says in her final thoughts, "this is just the start of the conversation" and I am so pleased to have been able to partake.
