Video: Amazons, Academics, and Adventure

Anne Fortier is a best-selling Canadian/Danish author with
an unparalleled talent for bringing history to life. Her previous
novel, New York Times
bestseller, Juliet,
retold the Shakespearean legend of Romeo &
Juliet.

Fortier credits many of the ideas and themes in her novels to
her libertarian outlook on life. Her new
novel, The
Lost Sisterhood, switches back and forth between the
travails of Diana Morgan, a contemporary scholar at Oxford, and
Myrina, the legendary warrior who would become the first ruler of
the Amazons. It’s a page-turning thriller that is also packed with
ideas about history, gender, self-determination, and the desire for
true freedom.
