Three Women ~ All with Strength All with a Story to Tell ~ #bookrecommendations
Today I am writing about three under-celebrated women that have featured in books I have read in recent times.
Women are very often portrayed as the victim in books and while these women had their difficulties, they fought against the norm as they strove to live their lives their way.
There are so many books in the genre of historical fiction, many I have read but never had the opportunity to review. I have picked three books that I have read, reviewed and loved, each featuring a woman who has played a part in all our history.
