Who was Fulvia?
Not an emperor or general, senator or queen. Just a bold, clever woman who defied the Roman patriarchy and, of course, was vilified for it.
And whilst her male detractors are remembered, she has all but been forgotten... until now.

Today is the last day of April, so it's the last day that Fulvia is @Hatchards Non-fiction Book of the Month. Thank you so much for supporting me and Fulvia, I really appreciate it. The pictures people sent me of the shops' fantastic window displays made me so happy.
