" Pope Joan has all the elements one wants in a historical drama–love, sex, violence, duplicity, and long-buried secrets. Cross has written an engaging book." –Los Angeles Times Book Review
For a thousand years her existence has been denied. She is the legend that will not die–Pope Joan, the ninth-century woman who disguised herself as a man and rose to become the only female ever to sit on the throne of St. Peter. Now in this riveting novel, Donna Woolfolk Cross paints a sweeping portrait of an unforgettable heroine who struggles against restrictions her soul cannot accept.
Brilliant and talented, young Joan rebels against medieval social strictures forbidding women to learn. When her brother is brutally killed during a Viking attack, Joan takes up his cloak–and his identity–and enters the monastery of Fulda. As Brother John Anglicus, Joan distinguishes herself as a great scholar and healer. Eventually, she is drawn to Rome, where she becomes enmeshed in a dangerous web of love, passion, and politics. Triumphing over appalling odds, she finally attains the highest office in Christendom–wielding a power greater than any woman before or since. But such power always comes at a price . . .
In this international bestseller, Cross brings the Dark Ages to life in all their brutal splendor and shares the dramatic story of a woman whose strength of vision led her to defy the social restrictions of her day.

評分在女性地位低下的年代，琼安没有向命运低头，在通往知识大门的荆棘道路上排除各种障碍，她得到的智慧超越了当代人的一般见解甚至到达一千多年后的现代。作为生活在知识随处可得的现代人表示非常惭愧，要是琼安生活在现代，我们大概会羡慕她才华，或者说是思想前卫的人。...

評分我不知道什么去评这本书，但是我是觉得这本书教给我的就是一种不放弃的精神，书中的女主在认字，学习还有后来她面对一切的困难，她都勇敢去闯，她的不放弃在我眼里就是很不错的，想现代还有几个会想她这样去生活，而且那时候还是很落后的文明，而且非常野蛮的时期，而且还是男...
