Book 5: The Once and Future Sex by Janega

4.5 stars

The style felt a bit too self-consciously irreverent in places, but this was still hugely enjoyable. I'm fairly knowledgeable about medieval history, and it's impressive how much territory Janega covered in such a short book written for a general audience. She made an interesting argument about how misogyny and patriarchy perpetuate themselves, even though the specific stereotypes about women change.
