pickExtraordinary account, showing the intimate lives of women of the medieval times and how they navigate a conservative society. Narrated brilliantly by a vibrant narrator. Listening to this book made me realise just how little things have changed in terms of women‘s consent, agency, safety, legal rights and perceived moral expectations from women today. It is both sobering and also a unique thread that binds women across time and geography.

Little is known of her life before marrying Jean Pierre Blanchard, a famous aerialist of the time. This is a great beginning look at woman who dared to do what many thought only men could do. Finding out that Sophie died so young, due to a fire and a fall from her balloon, is heartbreaking but also real.
