Status Updates From Normal Women: Nine Hundred ...

als dit boek makkelijk open te slaan zooi zijn zou het toch veel makkelijker lezen

Love love love

MARGERY KEMPE MENTIONED 🦅🦅🦅🦅

Such a boeing book. Just a list of names. Im surely missing something. I have given up on it.

there were so many women i had no idea

OBSESSED literally cannot put this down

Before 1350, most witchcraft accusations were made against men

William cementing the patriarchy and laying the grounds for the growth of antisemitism?????? Is he the WOAT?

“The Normans brought patriarchy to England, formalized it in law and kept women from the throne for 5 centuries” Before 1066, women were able to own and receive land. William the Conquerer formalized the idea of passing land (and the throne) down to male heirs.

Suuuper repetitive

Fucking Victorians! 🤬

Wow. Reality (especially our past reality) is really stranger than fiction.

This is going to be slow but it’s so, so interesting.

Super depressing so far but soooo informative

Going back to my roots. Philippa was really my childhood

Finally getting back into this after an unintentionally long break.
Goal for 2026 is to actually read the books I have before buying new ones!

Not entirely convinced so far. Lacks a bit of depth. Eg. Women running naked for prizes =》was this considered normal?

Very tedious. It just seems like a very long list of women with very little in depth information about any of them. I rarely give up on a book but sometimes you have to consider life is just too short to slog on with something and get no enjoyment out of it.

Fun to read in sections during lunch break

I have a feeling I’m going to be angry through a lot of this book.

One day I’ll finish this book lol

I’m disappointed that Philippa Gregory would repeat myths about crinolines and corsets. There is definitely some truth, but elite women certainly would not be impeded in movement by crinolines.

I was about to go listen to music you know when suddenly I remembered I need to be listening to AN HOUR of this book EVERY DAY if I want to finish before my library loan runs out 😭 cmon Philippa speed it along a bit

It's still very interesting

Plodding!

It's still interesting

What an absolute chonker of a book... 27hrs+ of audio 🤯 so far so interesting though

have to listen to this in short bursts. the patriarchy is infuriating and James I/VI is especially terrible

zoveel informatie om te verwerken!

At least some women get elected places
