Recs if you like When Women Ruled the World: Making the Renaissance in Europe...

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!

Nonfiction micro-histories that focus on aspects of women’s history. Trying to diversify this list so any suggestions are appreciated

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