Overview

From the bestselling author of FEMINA, a brilliant reappraisal of the medieval women whose lives have been exploited over centuries for political, nation-building ends.In LEGENDA, bestselling historian Professor Janina Ramirez peels back the layers of time to reveal how the identities of women have been co-opted by those intent on crafting national identities. Their names are well-known, and summaries of their achievements have been recited in classrooms for decades, but medieval women like Joan of Arc, Lady Godiva and Isabella of Castile have been misrepresented, their stories twisted and weaponised. Meanwhile, ground-breaking 18th and 19th-century women who blazed a trail through revolutionary Europe have been forgotten, their legacies too easily dismissed or ignored.Questioning established narratives and searching for the real women behind the legends, Ramirez interrogates what defines a nation and who gets to build it, shining a light on how history is so often hijacked to serve the ideological and political interests of the present.PRAISE FOR JANINA RAMIREZ:Ramirez blasts a powerful spotlight into the so-called Dark Ages and reveals a vibrant world, awash with colour and character DAN SNOWLike the interlace stonework on an Anglo-Saxon cross, Janina Ramirezs themes are interwoven with a conssumate skill TOM HOLLANDPassionate, provocative and brilliant LUCY WORSLEYJanina Ramirez is a born storyteller . . . This is bravura narrative history underpinned by passionate advocacy for the women whom medieval history has too often ignored or overlooked DAN JONESSkillfully brings out from the shadows the lives of women who ruled, fought, traded, created, and inspired CAT JARMANAbsolutely brilliant and highly recommended CAITLIN MORAN
