Femina: A New History of the Middle Ages by Janina Ramírez
4.0
I've been getting more into history books recently and this was a fascinating one!
It really made me think of medieval history totally differently and was a good reminder that so many of the things we assume about the past are shaped by the people telling it to us and the time they're telling it in.
Hildegard of Bingen was a badass nun, Jadwiga was a woman king and Aethelflaed got shit done. Very glad to know more about them!
