The bestselling, critically acclaimed women's history from blockbuster author Philippa Gregory - adapted for teen readers!
Join multi-award-winning author Philippa Gregory as she tells the story of English women over 900 years. There are plenty of books profiling exceptional women - this book is DIFFERENT. It's about ordinary, everyday women - erased from history for centuries.
Meet highway women and blacksmiths, pirates and `female husbands'. Meet women who went to war, ploughed the fields, campaigned, wrote, rode in jousts, issued their own currency, built ships, invented things and rioted - a LOT! Their story is one of ingenuity, diversity, rebellion, survival - and sisterhood.
Illustrated throughout by award-winning printmaker Alexis Snell.
