About

Today, when we think of women of the past, we often think of the 1800s and 1900s—crinolines and stagecoaches, bonnets and balls—a time when women were told they were naturally inferior to men, and must stay at home while men went out to work and have fun. There is so much more to women's history than bonnets and big dresses! Ordinary women have been doing extraordinary things For Ever, it just didn't make the history books (written by men!). Join multi-award-winning author Philippa Gregory as she tells the story of ordinary English women, making history for 900 years. Meet farmers, highwaywomen, pirates, 'female husbands', slaves, soldiers, criminals, writers, inventors, rioters and more—protesting, working, playing, taking risks, getting rich (and getting even!).
