Publisher's Synopsis
In the past several years, I've written books on women in history including the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I & II, women in the 19th century, women in the 20th century, and Suffragettes, Abolitionists and Prohibitionists. While I would never claim to have finished my work on the topic of "women in history", with the publication of this latest book, Women of the Dark Ages, Middle Ages and Colonial Times, I have come close to closing the circle.
The Dark Age section refers to women in the 0 A.D.-999 A.D. era. This includes Saints Perpetua, Clotilde and Scholastica, as well as Hilda of Whitby. The "Medieval" section includes women who were alive in the period from 1000 A.D. to 1599 A.D. It includes women such as Joan of Arc, Queen Elibeth I, Catherine of Siena, Eleanor of Aquitaine, the Empress Maude, Queen Isabella, Catherine de Medici and Mary, Queen of Scots. The "Colonial section covers 1600 A.D. to the Revolutionary War. It includes (perhaps not quite as famous) women such as Margaret Fell, Mother Ann Lee, Anne Hutchinson, Pocahontas, and Mary Musgrove, Empress of Georgia.
