A History of Britain in 21 Women

Murray, J. 2016. The History of Britain in 21 Women. London: Oneworld Publications.

This was Dr Anne's Christmas present from Greygranite.  We had met at the Banff Springs for lunch before Christmas and Greygranite handed me what looked like a book.  Dr Anne whooped in delight thinking it was her Christmas book.  No it was Dr Anne's favourite present - a beautiful notebook.  Two or three days later, a parcel arrived from Amazon.  It was this book by Jenni Murray of Radio 4's Women's Hour.  Dr Anne was so delighted.

The book took Dr Anne from Zurich to Lucerne to Interlaken to Lugano to Milan.  She paced the reading and enjoyed everyone of Jenni's biographies.  The biographies took us from Boadicca - Nicola Sturgeon.  All biographies were women who were the first woman in their field.  It was lovely holiday read.  It's a 8/10.
