Philippa Gregory - 900 Years of Women's History

For decades, Philippa Gregory has thrilled us with tales of the court and the machinations of kings, queens, and courtiers. Now she turns her attention not to the lives of our rulers but the ordinary women whose lives and accomplishments are missing from the national story: a hidden history of those who had no legal presence, no voice in government and no right to own property – but still ruled, governed, and made fortunes.
Highlighting the drive, ingenuity and vast contribution made, Philippa puts women back where they belong in our history – centre stage.
