Wild Women Authors recently took a look at The Hannah Document and discovered: A brilliant scholar, ancient libraries in danger due to war, suppressed women’s religious history, a renegade monastery and a global picture of misogyny dating back to before women knew what it was called—and why it was the order of things.
About the Book: A
doggedly determined Sofia Papandréou pursues long
ignored evidence of women in leadership in early Christianity in the dusty
corners of libraries worldwide—or worse—actively hidden away in order to deny
women their heritage and their power.
Hot on
the trail of the lost letters of Deacon Olympias, an important leader in
Fourth-Century Constantinople, Sofia stumbles onto two parchments that even she
finds incredible. Her quest to authenticate the documents involves her in a
perilous journey that leads to theft, murder, unexpected allies, and attempted
murder as her discoveries threaten to transform the revealed history of
Christianity.
Our
Review: Sophia Papandréou is infinitely more than a dogged and
determined young woman. She is brave, resourceful, imaginative and driven to
uncover the truth. Worthy of respect, she is everything any woman—or man—hopes
their daughters and granddaughters will strive to become. This is a book for
the Keeper Shelf. It’s that good.
Based
on a scale of 1-5, The Hannah Document merits a 7.
