Hi all, and welcome to my page!  

I began this blog to share my thoughts and knowledge on women throughout history. This all started from a Facebook post I made on Juana la Loca and I had several people comment on how much they enjoyed my writing style and knowledge.  I received several friend requests but as I use Facebook primarily for personal use I thought this would be a better medium.

I can't tell you why I am so fascinated with history- it seems that it has been a part of my life since I can remember.  My parents always encouraged me to read and never stop learning. I'm a nerd and I wear that label proudly.  I don't think of these historical figures as people long dead.  We too often forget that these people had rich, full and fascinating lives.  Women, however, tend to be grossly underrepresented in history, though they are usually involved in significant portions of historical events in significant ways.  Women have been warriors, monarchs, trail blazers, and political powerhouses while simultaneously being wives, mothers, daughters, sisters and friends.  Their stories deserve to be told by someone who will do their best to do them justice.  

I will try to post at least once a week and I would be happy to hear any suggestions on topics.  Happy reading!
