Description

I seem to be sensing a theme with the types of books I read.... Women from other eras. Being a women's studies student, I think history from a woman's perspective very intriguing and entertaining even if it is told in fiction. Here's a list of my personal favourites. Hope you find this helpful. Cheers.
