March Wrap-Up

Here are all the books that I read in the month of March, better late than never right. I read a total of 10 things not including all the Batman comics that I also read. It was a pretty heavy nonfiction month 6 out of the 10 books were nonfiction 

The Ladies Guide to History: Hildegard of Bingen

Hildegard was a woman who did everything she never was supposed to do and made no apologies for it. She was an abbess, although never officially given the title, composer, prophet, scientist, preacher, author and so many other things. Hildegard came to my attention in music history class when listening to the music of the Medieval Period. Imagine my surprise when a piece of music  played turned out to be beautiful and was written by a woman. This was indeed rare as any other student of music history can attest. Even after a few years this woman still had my interest so I decided to read a biographies about her. 

Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman

I recently finished Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythologyand really enjoyed it. I love mythology especially Egyptian (thanks to stargate lol), Greek and Roman and now I can add Norse mythology to the list.

The Ladies Guide to History: Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley

Romantic Outlaws relates the stories of a mother and a daughter: Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley. Both were inspiring woman who chose not to let their lives be ruled by the arbitrary rules that society created.
