Happy Fifth Anniversary of My Blog!

Today marks five years since I began this blog! In that time, I have read a LOT of books, and it has been a tremendous honor to have readers who like my reviews! I have also had the honor to interview some of my favorite authors and host guest posts from the leaders in historical fiction. I sincerely appreciate the readers, authors, publishers, and anyone else who has helped the success of this blog. Here's to plenty more years of celebrating women in history!

Interview With Gabriella Saab

        Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing author, Gabriella Saab. She is the author of The Last Checkmate  and Daughters of Victory . She has recently published  Survivor's Guild , which tells the story about of two Titanic survivors. One of them is a wealthy heiress, and the other is a Lebanese immigrant. They are tasked with finding the mother of a baby boy whom they have saved. In this interview, we discussed the Titanic as well as the events that were going on in Lebanon during that time. Thank you, Mrs. Saab! What inspired you to write The Survivor’s Guild? I’m half Lebanese, and while attending a conference through the Southern Federation of Syrian Lebanese American Clubs, I learned about the Lebanese aboard the Titanic .

Eleanor of Castile: Queen and Society in Thirteenth Century England by John Carmi Parsons: A Book Review

Eleanor of Castile: Queen and Society in Thirteenth Century England Author: John Carmi Parsons  Genre: Nonfiction, History, Biography  Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan  Book Release Date: 1998 Pages: 388 Source: Personal Collection  Synopsis: Medievalist feminist studies' early concentration on the lives of prominent women has more recently given way to an interest in their less exalted sisters. Historians have seemingly avoided the careers of medieval queens, creatures of romance and legend, women who enjoyed rank and wealth merely as a consequence of birth or marriage. A renewed interest in such women has, however, followed the opening of new avenues to the study of women and power in the Middle Ages. That the lives of these women will reward reconsideration has been amply proven in the works of such historians as Pauline Stafford and Janet Nelson. Eleanor of Castile studies the wife of Edward I of England, a woman eulogized since the sixteenth century as a model of ...
