Queen Isabella: Treachery, Adultery, and Murder in Medieval England is a biography of the wife of Edward II.

A great book -- I discovered it from my History Book Club, before the great reviews poured in from the critics. I think the New York Times had it as one of its ten best at the end of the year.

Price: $24.99
Customer Review:
This is the first time I have ordered something from Amazon and felt cheated. I ordered Four Queens, was delighted when I opened the package, and then received a suprise when I opened the book. The sleeve on the outside was the book I wanted and the book inside is some kind of mystery novel!! I... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from New World Library
Customer Review:
I initially borrowed this from the library, I picked it up because I loved the photo of Audrey. Every page is a little feast of information and every photo a work of 'Art'. I need say no more.

Elaine Fantham (perhaps best known in the non-academic community as the Classical commentator on NPR) authored, with other contributors, this superb introductory study to women's studies in ancient Greece and Rome in 1994.

from McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages
Price: $13.92
Customer Review:
Admittedly I wasn't reading this book for pleasure, as I had to read it for a class, but it is very poor indeed. Okay, I'm not a PhD historian like Bennett, but that shouldn't mean my criticism is invalid. The book is an interesting concept, trying find out what a peasant's life was like, but is... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I consider this autobiography as essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the United States, or early 20th century international political history. Beyond its value as a historical document, 'Living My Life' is also a gripping read. Goldman was a real adventurer, a real... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
