Reviews
'This is a fascinating story that will appeal to anyone with an interest in the power plays of the medieval world.' -- All About History Magazine, February 2024
'I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It gives an in depth account of The Anarchy, with background - the sinking of the White Ship is described in the prologue - and chapters on the next generation and the founding of the Angevin dynasty, so all in all this is a rounded study of the period, but always the emphasis is on the women and the parts they played. Couple this with the author's readable style, and it's a book which informs and entertains.' -- Reads, Writes, Reviews, January 2024
'This book is rich in details and is so well written as Connolly takes the time to distinguish between the Matildas, which there are quite a few in this book, and explain how the conflict started and finally how it was concluded. I think if you want a fabulous book about the Anarchy and the women who defined this period, I highly recommend you check out, "Women of the Anarchy" by Sharon Bennett Connolly.' -- Adventures of a Tudor Nerd, January 2024
'Connolly's writing is both engaging and informative, making this book a compelling read for anyone interested in the Anarchy and the remarkable women who defined this pivotal era in English history.' -- Medieval Latin, January 2024
