I've been a fan of Philippa Gregory's fiction for years now so when I saw she was coming out with a non-fiction about women in history I knew I had to read it, and I absolutely loved this from start to finish.

The sheer amount of research which would have gone into this book is staggering, and it's unbelievable how women's rights have changed so vastly over the centuries, going from bad to worse to better again. The stories in this book are shocking and heartbreaking at times, but also inspiring and uplifting.

This will definitely one of my favourite books of the year and I could actually see myself revisiting this, which I rarely do for non-fiction. 100% recommend for everyone!
