This book makes you wonder about all the women in history who had a story to tell but couldn’t because of ridiculous laws that prohibited them of showing what they could do.
It makes you think about all the things those women did do, in secret, that where later claimed by men who liked what was created and knew the woman in case couldn’t do anything against him stealing her work.
It’s a book full of magic and wonder. Of sad truths and heartbreaking lies. It’s a book that reminds us that, in some places, women still aren’t allowed to show their true potential.
