A captivating collection of daily extracts from women''s diaries, looking back over four centuries to discover how women''s experience ¿ of men and children, sex and shopping, work and the natural world ¿ has changed down the years. And, of course, how it hasn''t.

In this expansive anthology ¿ from 1 January through to 31 December ¿ you¿ll find Lady Anne Clifford in the seventeenth century and Loran Hurnscot in the twentieth both stoically recording the demands of an unreasonable husband; Joan Wyndham and Anne Frank, at much the same time, but in wildly different settings, describing their first experiences with sex; and Anne Lister (TV¿s Gentleman Jack) in eighteenth-century Yorkshire exploring her love affairs with women alongside Alice Walker in twentieth-century California.

Organised around the calendar year, with several selections for each day, this book is a fascinating record of how women were thinking, feeling and reacting to historical events.
