The bestselling, critically acclaimed new women’s history book from Philippa Gregory  has been adapted for teen and YA readers!

When we think of women of the past, we often think of the 1800s and 1900s – crinolines, stage coaches, bonnets and balls – a time when women were told they were inferior to men, and must stay at home while men went out to work and have fun. HUGE MISTAKE! There is so much more to women’s history than corsets and big dresses. 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!). Their story is one of ingenuity, diversity, rebellion, survival – and sisterhood.
