Thanks! I think the stories of victimization are important to tell, and many others do so brilliantly. I just don't think they tell the whole story - and that's where I hope to add some value! I'm glad you enjoyed the post 🥰
An interesting piece, Holly, as is your International Women's Day one. There will be so many influential women that we don't know of because they aren't in the written records, or burial practices don't suggest them as someone of importance.
What an absolutely fantastic post. I've homeschooled my three kids (my eldest is almost 15), and I've fallen in love with history by revisiting it through our journey. This feels like a little slice of heaven for me, to delve into some of the lesser known (at least to me) aspects of history. This was so fascinating, and I so look forward to future posts.
Nice work! ☺️I really enjoyed your refreshing view on the women as powerful and needed by men, rather than the tired story of their victimization.

Ah I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it!
I agree with your point about not knowing about lots of women who not doubt were influential. It’s so sad as their lives were so full of vibrancy.
