A vision of light

This book follows the eventful life of Ahsbury, a young woman in fourteenth century England.

I know that "Mary Sue" is a problematic category, but here is a list of things our Margaret invents:
- hand-washing
- actually, bathing on the reg.
- vegetarianism
- first-wave feminism
- obstetric forceps
Like, I know a lot of pre-enlightenment fiction that has to deal with pre-enlightenment medicine comes up with up with some hand-waving as to why their hero washes their hands because honestly, the reality is too gross to contemplate, but this is a bit advanced.

And then the end of the book has "discussion questions", a thing that always puts my back up, and the very first one asks how Margaret is "not like other women."
