It is in The Boleyn Inheritance where we find this description of a Tudor woman:
I will own a cat and not fear being called a witch; I will dance and not fear being named a whore. I shall ride my horse and go where I please. I shall soar like a gyrfalcon. I shall live my own life and please myself. I shall be a free woman. It is no small thing, this, for a woman: freedom.
Philippa Gregory lists her hobby as child-raising. She has been married several times.
A Respectable Trade and The Other Boleyn Girl, were both adopted for television. The latter was also made into a movie.
