7/7 I also loved the incorporation of quotes attributed to some of the women who featured in the book - it made them feel more tangible and complemented the idea of handing the narrative back over to them.

#TheMissingThread
Lorna's outstretched hand in the process of removing a copy of 'The Missing Thread' by Daisy Dunn from a dark wood bookcase. A variety of ancient-world-related books are visible on the shelves.
1/7 Spanning three thousand years, from the first stirrings of Minoan Crete to the fall of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, #TheMissingThread by @daisydunn.bsky.social is a fantastic guide to ancient (especially Greco-Roman) history through an incredible cast of women who inhabited and often shaped it.
#TheMissingThread is out in UK paperback in 6 weeks with a regal new cover! A new history of the ancient world foregrounded by women: 3,000 years, 500 pages, £12.99. I'd be so grateful if you'd consider pre-ordering a copy from anywhere you like waterstones.com/book/the-mis...
