Amanda K says:
Ordinary women take the stage in this fascinating, intersectional re-examination of Britain's past. Forget about history. It's time for HERstory.
Drawing on an enormous archive of primary and secondary sources to rewrite history, focusing on the agency, persistence and effectiveness of everyday women throughout periods of social and cultural transition, the author redefines "normal" female behavior to include heroism, rebellion, crime, treason, money-making and sainthood.

I work in circulation, happily intrigued by both fiction and nonfiction because I'm most interested in storytelling itself. Reimagined fairy tales, stories that balance humor and substance or anything historical are wins for me. When I'm not at the library, I'm a floral designer who's passionate about classic films, nail art, half-marathons, vegan cooking and road tripping to destinations both big and small. And, of course, anything Disney.
