Recs if you like Young Queens: Three Renaissance Women and the Price of Power...

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 the renaissance. Books written during or leading up to the renaissance. and fiction books set during the renaissance.

(Auto)biographies, diaries, or memoirs of historical women that I've read and given at least 3 stars. Happy reading!
