She-Wolves: The Women Who Ruled England Before Elizabeth

I should've read the synopsis closer. I was thinking the title meant across a larger and older part of history but this is specifically the period between Henry VIII's son Edward dies and the reign of Elizabeth, about several women I was not really aware of among the movers and shakers of that time. I had been hoping for pre-Roman times.

Well written, relatively easy to follow along if you know some of the names and can place these women amongst the men and women you always hear about.

I don't read much historical nonfiction but this was a fun one!

Well-researched book that hits some of the highlights of just a few of the strong and powerful women who were underestimated and often misunderstood but who took the bull by the horns and went for it!
