     Hello, and welcome to my blog!

       Most of history is told from a male's perspective. My intent of this blog is to show history from a different perspective, a woman's. These books that I am going to review are about women in historical eras. These are both nonfiction and fiction and can fit into any genre: historical, YA, mystery, fantasy, etc.

     It took me a week to create this blog. I would like to thank my parents for helping me and for their encouragement.

     I would also like to thank my friend and computer wiz, Allen, for putting this blog up on the website. Without his help, this blog would most likely not be up right now for I do not understand computer software. I greatly appreciate his availability and kindness to help me.

     Last, but not least, I would like to thank those who visited my website. So enjoy my blog! I'll be updating consistently! :)
