Women and the renaissance
A nice easy book to read which clearly shows womens place in society in the renaissance period and how some of them wished for change. Also has themes of power, desire and deceit which could be very helpful at A.Level or Degree level to compare with many of Shakespeares Classics.
If studying women during the renaissance then this is the book for you!
