Since collecting parcels at the post office is a pain, I have my stuff sent to my work address. I had forgotten I'd be on holidays when this arrived, so I had to wait until I was back at work to get it today. Thank you so much @lemonlime799 for this and Pendleton the Penguin 😍

Have heard good things of Fraser's writing & research; I have one of her other books (lost) in my shelves that is TBR. How cool does this sound though? Any guesses as to whom will be featured? I am 1000000% positive that Elizabeth I and the Spanish Inquisition will be in here, and would be thoroughly unsurprised if Cleopatra shows up too. Throw me your guesses, I'll have the chapter list in my next post! 🙈👑💃🏻👸🏻

TrishB Boudicca? This book looks fab 😀👍 8y
drokka I don't know her name, but saw a documentary on her: an Asian woman who created the real Kung Fu (also don't remember what it's called) and ended up having to fight her partner to the death. Anyway, the tradition was passed down by the women. There are a few Celtic women but again I'm horrible with name Cammandua(?) I don't know if she'd go as far as the Scottish woman who led her clan in the first rising. 8y
drokka Ooooh and that Silk Road warrior woman Altai? Atlai? I'm rubbish lol 8y
