This book wasn't quite what I had expected, but it was a great read. The misogynistic tendencies of the 9th century comes across with vivid clarity, and the very acute danger implicit for a woman who wanted to use her brains--or be in any way different--is emphasized in a way which makes one think that Pope Joan's life was truly a miracle. I'm frustrated to not be able to know more about this pope!
