Part travelogue, part pop history as the author explores the islands of Britannia beyond the two mainlands, setting them in historical context. What sets this apart from similar books is the author's mission to uncover the female influence on British history and culture, which has undoubtedly been suppressed, marginalised and ignored. I think she goes to far in seeing vulvas and wombs and pregnancy bump in any artefacts she comes across, but I'm in no position to judge and if it reduses the bias and brings things closer to a balanced view I'm all for it.
