Pope Joan by Donna Woolfalk Cross I found this book to be both intriguing and groundbreaking. It provides the story of a woman who may have actually become Pope. The story is written as historical fiction so it reads more easily than dry history but appears to portray live accurately. The story itself is one that scholars are continuing to research and may very well be true which added more interest. How groundbreaking would it be if we actually HAD a Pope that was a woman???
Fantastic!
