More and more women are taking center stage in novels of all kinds. To the point that citing this obviousness as the beginning of a review already sounds strange. But the truth is that if we go back 30 years, it was not so easy to find women with roles, in novels or in movies, beyond a complementary role.
For this reason, finding historical and adventure novels where women assume the role of main characters are still a necessary breath of fresh air to compensate for the comparative insult of the History of Literature.
