Did you know that there are more penises than women in the Bayeux Tapestry? That the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381 was started and propelled by women who were protesting a tax on women? Or that Charles Darwin believed not just that women were naturally inferior to men, but that they’d evolve to become ever more inferior? These are just a few of the startling findings you will learn from listening to Philippa Gregory’s Normal Women. In this ambitious book, she tells the story of England over 900 years, for the very first time placing women—some fifty per cent of the population—center stage.

Read This Book
Revisado: 04-26-24
If you are a woman; or someone who loves, honors and appreciates women; or someone who wants to broaden their horizons; or someone who wants to understand the plurality of gender; please read this.
If nothing else, read the last chapter!
I don’t know if I could have read this in book form and I am so grateful for Phillipa Gregory for recording this amazing herstory. My middle fingers are worn out by flipping off the foolish words that have condemned women for centuries and I have been cussing like a sailor in response to why we are where we are.
Women are strong and ‘men’ are scared because all humans are amazing and unique; they just don’t get it.
Again, thank you Philippa, you are amazing and my role model. I want to be like you and Jemima Perry-Jones when I grow up (I’m 65).

Hard to listen to

I think the story is pretty interesting but the narrator is AWFUL. The only thing he has to offer is being able to pronounce Italian pretty well. He has no sense of timing or syntax and he makes all of the characters sound dead and flat. Ruined the book, as far as I’m concerned. I’d give zero stars for performance but they won’t let me.

A chore to finish

What disappointed you about The Jakarta Pandemic?
Seemed an interesting premise but the story was dull. I spent the whole read thinking that something truely interesting and exciting might happen and was sorely disappointed.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The reader had terrible syntax, poor pacing and all the characters sounded alike. It was excruciating to listen to. He sounded bored with the entire project.
