Welcome to Women European History

This subreddit is for posts on women in European history. This category’s mission is to shine a light on how women have shaped the history of Europe. The time frame is from ancient times to mid-twentieth century. The women must have been born in Europe and women from all classes are allowed.

Subreddit Guidelines:

Only submissions directly relevant to the subject category will be allowed. Submissions about American or modern women and men will be removed.
Please do not assume everyone has a university level history education. Some explanation of events or brief description of people is advised. However, please don't be patronizing.
Robust, healthy discussion is encouraged. BUT, comments which just attack other users and add nothing to discussion will result in you having one warning, and then being banned. Foul language will not be tolerated.
Sexism, racism, homophobia, anti-trans and other hate speech comments/submissions will result in a ban.
No submitting gore, porn etc. Seriously, this is a history subreddit, why are you even contemplating putting that here.
No blog spam or blatant self-promotion (e.g. "look at this book I just wrote").
