Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine are two of the most recognisable figures of the Middle Ages, and almost certainly the best-known couple. The lives of their sons have been examined in detail many times, but their daughters are barely known despite the influence they exerted on the world around them. Joanna, the youngest daughter, led an extraordinary life full of travel, adventure, danger, and controversy. Her story is told here in full for the first time.

The Latin term for the female genitalia, pudendum, means “parts for which you should be ashamed”. Until 1651, ovaries were called female testicles. The fallopian tubes are named for a man. Named, claimed, and shamed: Welcome to the story of the female body, as penned by men. Today, a new generation of (mostly) women scientists is finally redrawing the map. With modern tools and fresh perspectives, they’re looking at the organs traditionally bound up in reproduction—the uterus, ovaries, vagina—and seeing within them a new biology of change and resilience.

Was wäre aus den berühmten Malern, Schriftstellern, Komponisten und Popstars geworden, wenn niemand da gewesen wäre, um sie zu inspirieren, zu trösten, zu korrigieren, zu managen, zu lieben? Von den antiken Musengöttinnen hin zu Christiane Vulpius, Anna Dostojewskaja, Gala Dalí, Véra Nabokov, Constanze Mozart, Uma Thurman und vielen anderen erzählt Elisa von Hof von den Frauen, die unsere Kunst und Kultur prägen, aber kaum anerkannt oder sichtbar gemacht werden.
