A fascinating exploration of the legend of Pope Joan. It certainly gives a gal pause when considering is there a war on women today????? Hardly, after reading the prejudices and the persecutions that Joan endured growing into womanhood it's little wonder that she assumes her dead brother's identity and pursues her own ambitions. A well written engaging tale that gives good supporting documentation for the existence of the story.
