It\u2019s no secret that mainstream history books have often left women out or relegated them to the footnotes. It is called his<\/em>tory, after all. As a young girl, I knew I loved stories from the past\u2014magical princesses that lived once upon a time were the first to get me hooked\u2014but I couldn\u2019t see myself in the majority of what we learned in history classes. So instead, I turned to the world of historical fiction: a genre that allows writers to creatively fill the gaps from missing historical records and reimagine the experiences of women from the past who have traditionally been neglected. I have these novels to thank for bringing me where I am now: a recent women\u2019s history MA grad launching into full-time doctoral studies in the fall.<\/p>\n

This month marks Women\u2019s History Month in the US, so consider picking up one of these 10 must-read historical novels set in past eras that feature either real-life or imagined female characters, covering a range of periods all the way back from the classical era to postwar modernity.<\/p>\n

The Huntress<\/em>
\nby Kate Quinn<\/strong>
\nThis is one of the season\u2019s most anticipated reads, and for good reason. It tells the fictional story of a former member of the Night Witches (the real-life all-female squad of Russian bomber pilots that fought off the Germans in WWII) and a war correspondent who join forces to hunt down a Nazi war criminal previously known as the Huntress. Add to the mix a 17-year-old American girl who starts to suspect her new German stepmother might have a shady past, and you\u2019ve got yourself one compelling read.

\nby Pat Barker<\/strong>

And the thousands of other female slaves in the soldiers\u2019 camp? This new novel gives Homer\u2019s The Iliad <\/em>a much-needed feminist makeover, and tells the ancient myth of the Trojan War from the perspective of the women whose lives changed as a result of the battles fought between men.

\nby Shelley Wood<\/strong>
\nIf you\u2019re looking for something closer to home, this novel brings readers back to Northern Ontario during the Great Depression, where a French farming couple give birth to the world\u2019s first identical quintuplets to survive birth. Told from the perspective of 17-year-old Emma Trimpany, the hesitant midwife who helps bring them into the world and acts as their nurse after government claims the babies as wards of the British king, this book brings a strange-but-true Canadian legend to life in a fascinating fictional reimagining.

Into That Fire<\/em>
\nby MJ Cates<\/strong>
\nThis novel, written by a mysterious author under the pseudonym of MJ Cates, tells the story of Imogen Lang, a fictional character loosely inspired on Phyllis Greenacre, the real-life female pioneer of psychiatry of the early 20th<\/sup>century. Despite the option of a comfortable future with her dearest friend and confidant Quentin, Imogen breaks with convention and chooses to accept a medical residency rather than marriage. She faces off workplace sexism and finds success in her career, but when she hears Quentin has been killed in the war she has to face the sacrifice she made to pursue her dream of being one of the first female physiatrists.

After the Party<\/em>
\nby Cressida Connolly<\/strong>
\nThis novel opens in 1979, where Phyllis Forrester is rotting away in prison, buried in shame for what she has done. Readers are then taken back to the summer leading up to the outbreak of WWII, where it all began, when Phyllis and her husband return to England after living abroad for several years to stay with her sister in her grand country house. Sinister beliefs and anti-Semitism penetrate this seemingly idealistic world of privilege and sisterhood, and over the course of the novel, the author gradually illuminates why Phyllis ended up interned by the British government.

The Night Tiger<\/em>
\nby Yangsze Choo<\/strong>
\nThis new novel transports readers back to 1930s colonial Malaysia, and follows the coming-of-age of a spunky and ambitious dressmaking apprentice named Ji Lin and the dangerous adventures she finds herself swept into. This fictional story brings to life a time and place not often learned about in history classes, and I would highly recommend it.
