Philippa Gregory: Normal Women

Waterstones is proud to present internationally bestselling author Philippa Gregory as she talks about her fascinating and radical new book Normal Women.

In Normal Women, the master of historical fiction turns her eyes to the historical record. Challenging the assumption that women played no part in major historical events, this fascinating book maps an alternative account of Britain’s past through the eyes of guild widows, pirates, highwaywomen and other pivotal female figures. The book has been the product of a decade of research, the work of a lifetime from one of our greatest historical storytellers.
