The bestselling, critically acclaimed new womens history book from Philippa Gregory for 2025 adapted for teen and YA readers!





Today, when we think of women of the past, we often think of the 1800s and 1900s crinolines and stage coaches, bonnets and balls a time when women were told they were naturally inferior to men, and must stay at home while men went out to work and have fun.



HUGE MISTAKE! There is so much more to womens history than bonnets and big dresses! Ordinary women have been doing extraordinary things FOR EVER it just didnt make the history books (written by men!).



Join multi-award-winning author Philippa Gregory as she tells the story of ordinary English women, making history for 900 years. Meet farmers, highwaywomen, pirates, female husbands, slaves, soldiers, criminals, writers, inventors, rioters and more protesting, working, playing, taking risks, getting rich (and getting even!). Their story is one of ingenuity, diversity, rebellion, survival and sisterhood.



Adapted by Philippa Gregory from her best-selling, critically acclaimed Normal Women. This edition for younger readers has simplified, age-tailored content, delivered in bitesize sections, and is illustrated throughout by award-winning printmaker Alexis Snell.

Arvustused

Early praise for Normal Women: Making History For 900 Years:



'We all know the quote 'he who owns the narrative controls the story' So much of our history has been led and told by men. Gregory rewrites 900 years of history and reveals a path women can be proud of, and build from. What could be more uplifting and empowering? Edwina Dunn, founder of The Female Lead



'This is redemption for the unsung female heroes lost through time. Prepared to feel aghast, proud and inspired when reading this book. Philippa Gregory is more than an author, she is warrior for the normal, the ordinary, a disruptor who refuses to be silenced, with her pen in hand she has 'slayed' once again. Geri Halliwell



Impressively researched, by turns inspiring and chilling, the history of the uphill struggle for women to achieve anything remotely resembling equality over 900 years is brilliantly told for young readers in this book. And older readers. This 58 year old learnt for the first time that a housewife was not entitled to her share of the family money in a divorce until as late as 1996, or that rape within marriage did not become a crime until 1992, and that right here and now in the UK a woman is killed every three days by a man. And what this clear account of the last 900 years of history for 50 percent of the population tells me is that nothing should be taken for granted, and that much more still needs to be fought for. Cressida Cowell
