Revelatory... Ramirez shows again and again that dark age Europe
was a far more various place than we like to believe
*Kathryn Hughes, The Guardian*
One of Femina's greatest strengths is that it is not just a
collection of medieval heroines, although there are inspirational
stories aplenty in its pages, but also a readable and wide-ranging
account of the Middle Ages - with the women put back in - that
forces us to look at familiar stories in new ways
*The Sunday Times*
It's about time these stories had a wider audience. They've been
waiting long enough.
*Spectator*
Passionate, provocative and brilliant, this book is a firecracker
somehow captured between two covers
*Lucy Worsley, bestselling author of Agatha Christie: A Very
Elusive Woman*
Beautifully written, wonderfully free-ranging and gloriously
original, Femina makes us look into the mists of history in new,
exciting and provocative ways. A joyous read
*Peter Frankopan, bestselling author of The Silk Roads*
