Cait Stevenson has just published How to Slay a Dragon (Tiller Press, 2021), a terrific, witty, and accessible history that includes such chapters as “How Not to Marry the Prince” and “The Princess Saves Herself”. The book is race, religion, and LGBTQ+ inclusive, and features women who are well-known (think Jeanne d’Albret) and many who are less so (such as the tavern keeper, Agnes la Paganam).
