Femina: A New History of the Middle Ages by Janina Ramírez

emotional informative inspiring medium-paced

4.5

Illuminating stories of forgotten women throughout medieval history. The case studies were extremely interesting particularly chapters 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 ,8 IMO. It showcased a variety of European locations with differing women.

The middle chapters were a bit slow and didn't focus on specific women as much. But really well written and informative. 

The last chapter seemed like a bit of a rushed attempt to be more inclusive but also perhaps Ramirez felt it wasn't her place to discuss things not in her identity.
