These women can't really be called 'feminists' in today's sense of the word, but Rebecca Wilson explains this at the beginning of her book. Three of the women are actually wives of Henry VIII - Catherine of Aragon, Anne boleyn and Katherine Parr. They are my favourites. Others include Margaret Beaufort, who fought for her son Henry VII like a lioness, and Margaret Pole. They are all wonderfully interesting, although I am not sure that Wilson says anything new about them. It's a great read, though.
I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
