" 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.

评分这又是一个“大长今”似的女人。很难有确凿的史实证明她们的确存在过，这并不是重点。我丝毫也不怀疑这个“存在性”。 在人性泯灭的黑暗时代，女人不可以读书写字，不可以接受任何教育，她们被看作没有理性，没有智商的低等生物，不过是男人的附庸和玩偶，是生孩子的工具，随...
评分对她前半生的描述非常棒,吸引我想一口气看完，可到了她成年后的描述就非常的欠缺真实性了，唯一能说的就是，这是上帝的旨意，他接选了她。
评分以前看过杜撰的女教皇的漫画，所以看到小说就拿来读读。所以说，通俗漫画也是有启蒙意义的:P。 同样考证癖发作，又搜索，Baidu完全不给力，只好维基百科了：http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Joan。结果，再次发现年代久远后已无真相，叹息。不过，还是想再看看电影的。 因...
