Title: Not An Easy Read, But Worth the Extra Time
Review: I was overwhelmed by the volumes of historical information in this book, but not so impressed by its organization. It would have benefited from a more chronological organization or some other means of keeping track of who was who and when and where they lived. The book is packed full of information, historical interest and the "voices" of women of the Renaissance. It is a great source for research, but give yourself lots of time to read it. The chapters are over long and the flow is not exactly the "page-turning" variety. Still it is a must read for students of women's history or the history of the Renaissance.
