Once considered almost ubiquitously the undoer of man, she now provokes another undoing: that of written history. As in other publications revolving around the place of women in history, this second volume of More Histories, penned by Giovanni Bonello, strives to collect and present revaluations of history with her as protagonist, or at least as an equal player of history, in this case, in the socio-political, legal, and cultural timeline of Malta.
