Margaret of Anjou by Conn Iggulden
4.0

I am IN. TO. THIS. SERIES. Margaret has a badass moment at the end, but Idunno I thought she’d have more of a major part in this book since it was named for her?? I understand though, the Middle Ages in England was patriarchy-central, and most historically remembered events (ie awful battles, recorded political maneuverings, etc) were carried out by men and their BELOVED sons. I appreciate this series because yes, it still includes the misogyny that is intertwined with the historical events it’s discussing, but there’s not added overt misogyny from the author. It’s refreshing to read a historical fiction that does that.
