Recs if you like Fulvia: The Woman Who Broke All the Rules in Ancient Rome...

A list of phenomenal books I've either read or that are on my TBR that focus on women or the experiences of women across different ancient societies

The majority of history has been, and still is, written by men. Even when men write about women in history, they often get it wrong, distort the truth to fit moral or political narratives, or just plain have no idea what the female experience is so they miss what’s actually important.

Here is a list of some of history written by female authors, who are looking at history through their female gaze - not through the lense of what men have decided is history.

Suggestions welcome!

non-fiction books about ancient civilisations and the famous/infamous people connected to them.

Empresses, everyday women, and foreign queens who influenced Rome
