History of the Roman Empire in 21 Women

I loved this book.

First and foremost, it focuses on women in Roman History, of course, from its founding to its demise, and additionally puts queerness in the spotlight where it can be found, which I appreciated very much.

Then it regularly points out the problem of texts about history mostly being written by men about men (what makes this book all the more refreshing).

And as the cherry on top, the author has (imho) a great humour (which reminds me a lot of that of one of my teachers, I have to recommend the book to her as well) which makes this journey really funny and entertaining.

I can only highly recommend it and rate it 5/5 Stars.
