Philippa Gregory's "Normal Women" is a ground-breaking book that tells the story of our nation over 900 years, but for the first time, women are not invisible in this history of England. She uses research skills honed in her work as one of our foremost historical novelists to find highway women, beggars and shepherdesses, murderers and brides, housewives and pirates, female husbands and hermits. They went to war, ploughed the fields, campaigned, wrote, and loved. They built our society to be as diverse and varied as the women themselves.
