Most historical books group women as “everyone” or “people” when they’re really just talking about men’s experiences. I’m incredibly tired of reading about women as the other gender.
I’m looking for recommendations on books that focus on women’s daily life, relationships, problems they faced, their status and job, etc. Bonus if the author is a woman. The time period doesn’t matter too much, but in general, the older, the better. I’d especially love any books based on the stone/bronze/iron ages. No biographies please, I want to read about women as a whole or a specific group of them.
So far I’ve just picked up:
-Women and English Piracy
-A Life in Secrets: Vera Atkins and the Missing Agents of WWII
-Medieval Women: A Social History of Women
-Between Women: Friendship Desire and Marriage in Victorian England
