I thought this was a bit dry at the beginning.
Once I got started though I became engrossed in it.

I could feel myself getting angry when I learned what a sham the "trial" was. I almost had to put the book down.

Some part of me thinks that Joan of Arc was persecuted simply because she was a woman. Like it was she thought she did not know her place.
It seems like there was just so many other forces at work here.
Like how important it was to please the English.
It didn't seem as much about Joan as it was about everybody else benefiting as much as possible from her trial.
It was about politics not religion.

I mean if she had been born a man would she have been treated so terribly?

It is something for me to think about.
