A little while ago a friend asked me if I thought that we were living through what in years to come would be discussed by A level history students when faced with the question ''Discuss the factors which led to...'' I agreed that she was right and wasn't certain whether it was a good or bad thing that we didn't know what all 'this' was leading to. I think now that I do know. We are in danger of losing democracy and whilst it's a flawed system I can't think of a better one, particularly as the 'benevolent dictator' is as rare as hen's teeth.

Ms Connolly has adopted an enterprising solution to the problem by writing a general account on a broadly thematic basis. [[Heroines of the Medieval World by Sharon Bennett Connolly|Full Review]]
