The Five by Hallie Rubenhold.
This is history of the lives of these five women. You see them as people, not as victims. You see society treats people living in poverty in London in the 1880s.

@lwestwoodauthor.bsky.social#histbookchat No new book this week but decided to pick 9 histories/biographies that left me thinking 'wow!' when I got to the end! Second choice photo not great but it is Faust's Metropolis, Alexandra Richie's astonishing history of Berlin pubbed in 1999, 1000+ pages of brilliant writing!

@disastergis.org- Memoirs of Pham Duy is an interesting one because he was born in the north where he joined the anti-french resistance, but became a major voice for the southern republic.
