akgrantmatz 's review for:
Normal Women: Nine Hundred Years of Making History
by Philippa Gregory
adventurous
challenging
hopeful
informative
slow-paced
This book is highly informative, well researched, and the message and the information is very important. All stars here are for the information and message within.
I was disappointed by how dry it was written. Typically, I could support this, but over 700 pages it was a bit much. I was expecting an engaging, narrative non-fiction book as it is written by a historical fiction author who does this in her other work.
