5 Historical Fiction Stories Featuring Tough, Tenacious Women

by Susan Roberts

This must be the week for historical fiction as Donna reviewed a WWII homefront novel on Monday, and yesterday, MK had reviews for a novel set in 18th century Japan and one of the novels I'm also reviewing today. 

I have reviews of five new historical fiction novels - one is about Queen Elizabeth and her first Christmas as Queen , one takes place during World War I and the other three all take place during World War II.  The one thing that all five books have in common is that they feature tough and tenacious women who made a major difference in their worlds.
