How can mere women
resist the misogyny of men?
When a resentful peasant rages against a woman’s
efforts to build up her flock of sheep.
…or a husband, grown melancholy and ill-tempered, succumbs to idle talk
that his wife’s a scold.
…or a priest, fearful of women’s “unnatural” power,
determines to keep them in their place.
The devastation wrought two years ago by the
Black Death changed the balance of society, and gave women a chance to break
free from the yoke of chatteldom, to learn a trade, build a business, be more
than just men’s wives.
But many men still hold fast to the teachings
of the Church, and fear the havoc the daughters of
Eve might wreak if they’re allowed to usurp men’s roles, and gain control over their own lives.
Not all men resist women’s quest for change – indeed,
they want change for themselves.
Yet it takes only one or two misogynists to
unleash the hounds of hostility and hatred…
A Woman’s Lot is the second Meonbridge Chronicle, the sequel to Fortune’s
Wheel.

ABOUT CAROLYN HUGHES
Carolyn
Hughes was born in London, but has lived most of her life in Hampshire. After a
first degree in Classics and English, she started her working life as a
computer programmer, in those days a very new profession. It was fun for a few
years, but she left to become a school careers officer in Dorset. But it was
when she discovered technical authoring that she knew she had found her
vocation. She spent the next few decades writing and editing all sorts of
material, some fascinating, some dull, for a wide variety of clients, including
an international hotel group, medical instrument manufacturers and the Government.
She has written creatively for most of her adult life, but it was not until her
children grew up and flew the nest, several years ago, that creative writing
and, especially, writing historical fiction, took centre stage in her life. She
has a Masters in Creative Writing from Portsmouth University and a PhD from the
University of Southampton.
A
Woman’s Lot
is the second of the Meonbridge
Chronicles, her series of historical novels set in fourteenth
century England. The first, Fortune’s Wheel,
was published in 2016. The third in the series is well under way.
