I love the stories about women during the Middle Ages, although, of course, the women chosen can never represent the "average" woman of their respective time.

I liked to see how much influence women could have even back then, since that's a truth that's rarely spoken of in history lessons.

I absolutely have a problem with the sloppy editing of Femina, though. There are so many typos and grammatical errors in there that I was quite taken aback. This isn't something I expect from a professionally edited and published book.
And just for the record, it's called "Riesenkodex" ("Giant Codex"), not "Reisenkodex" ("Travel Codex")!
