For February, we read Silence, a 13th century chivalric romance about crossdressing knights. We discussed medieval misogyny, other cross-dressing knights in fiction, like Brienne of Tarth, and King Evan, the d-bag.
Recommendations:
The Song of the Lioness by Tamora Pierce
The Bone Doll's Twin by Lynn Flewelling
Pope Joan by Donna Woolfolk Cross
To celebrate the Ides of March, we will be reading Suetonius's Twelve Ceasars--well, 6 of them, up through Nero.
