What Regency Women Did For Us by Rachel Knowles
This is an enjoyable and enlightening read for fans of the Regency or British history. Rachel Knowles's lively and entertaining style makes thes interesting women come to life. These enterprising women include Eleanor Code who had her own business manufacturing artificial stone, Caroline Herschel who was the first woman to discover a comet and the novelist Maria Edgeworth. In a time when women had few basic rights and intellectual women were regarded in a derogatory manner, these women managed to have their own careers and overcome many obstacles.
I especially liked reading about Eleanor Code who even manufactured stone for King George III.
I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
