The First Iron Lady: A Life of Caroline of Ansbach by Matthew Dennison
3.0
Well I think it’s fair to say that Matthew Dennison is a boob man, I lost count of the amount of times he commented on Caroline’s breasts...which is reductionist at best and massively sexist at worst.
I had high hopes for this book which weren’t entirely fulfilled, managing to make a fascinating woman’s story pretty mundane, glossing over some pretty major life events but going into endless detail about how her outfits contained her breasts.
Also the ending was incredibly abrupt.
