The Female Tudor Scholar and Writer The Life and Times of Margaret More Roper by Aimee Spillman

 This was an enjoyable and well-researched biography of Margaret Roper, who was lucky enough to have an enlightened father who believed that girls should receive a good education and gave her a good start. She was so bright, though, that she is still famous for her writings and her learning. 

I also found the description of the huge affection that she and her father shared very touching. Margaret Roper always strikes me as being perfectly portrayed by Sussanah York in A Man for All Seasons, a lovely clever young woman who showed great concern for her father in the King’s Great Matter and tried her best to help him. This book made me want to read as much as pissible about this intriguing young woman.

I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
