Pickpick

Soft pick. I chose this particular book because I wanted to hear Boudica's story from the mouth of a woman who could be critical of sexist sources who used Boudica's story to further their own agendas. In a way, she reveals those agendas and some of their biases. But, for the most part, she simply retells their stories without too much criticism (where it was due). 1/3

bookwyrm7 Perhaps, used to write as a scholar, she hides her own voice, simply wishing to present what is already out there without further critical analysis. Perhaps, it was my own hopes that led to my disappointment. But I still find she missed a few chances to really shine. 2/3 7mo
bookwyrm7 There was a lot of repetition of ideas already mentioned but without exploring these in more detail, for example. She doesn't do a lot more than to point out the obvious a lot of the time.
Still, the book itself is a great way of telling what little there is about Boudica's story. A lot of research seems to have gone into it and I'm glad I read it. I'd definitely recommend it! 3/3

I know #internationalwomansday has gone but I celebrate woman everyday 🥰 because I just love them. ❤️
My local library has a very small display of books dedicated I think to female authors and female characters, check it out.

KathyWheeler Weirdly, I‘ve only read one of those books, Red Clocks. I wanted to like that book more than I actually liked it. I‘ll have to check out the others, especially that Pat Barker one. 2y

Tera66 @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick This was a gateway to audiobooks for several of my coworkers. Her voice and how she tells the story is so good. 3y
