How many times in history did this happen? According to to the author, beginning with Reformation, libraries were decimated by varying religious groups, with the intention of burning “controversial texts.” There are lists of these books.available today.“ Femina” was the category that destroyed female texts were cataloged under. I am reading the into- so much to digest on every page!
1) hope to see the eclipse, but looks like it might be cloudy. on vacation the rest of the week I have no plans which is glorious.
2)coffee in the morning, water later in day.
3) I have tons of book marks which i do use, but often it‘s a found thing near me- tissue, mail, ribbon,etc.
4) current read is tagged.
The title says it all - a history of women who has been written out of it. And what I found interesting was that they were initially written in, but as time passed, they were at one point omitted. She looks at women from the 7th century until the 15th century which was a little strange for me as a Norwegian since we view the period ca 790 until ca 1066 as the Viking Age. This is a travel around Europe; England, France, Sweden and Poland.
I have 26 books checked out at the library... I need adult supervision 🤣🤣🤣
I can also feel the books I own glaring at me 😆
As part of my #nonfiction reading challenge a friend loaned me a copy of this book. It's women in the middle ages and how they put their mark on history. As a history major and lover of history, I found this to be a truly absorbing read. #chunkster
