Good Excuse!

I've not been able or willing to squeeze reading into my already heavily populated schedule--until now! I'm teaching a class on medieval women and it's going to give me lovely, lovely reasons to immerse myself in my favorite period of both history and literature. I don't know how I'm going to make time for it all, but I now have permission to do so, if it is at all possible.
I'm starting with an overview (see above) and then I hope to read a good biography of each and if possible some of their work. I'm particularly excited by Christine de Pizan. I've only had the briefest of brushes, but she seems to crackle with energy and intelligence. What a lucky break!
