Quotes by Amy Licence  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Because she would go on to prove herself brave, determined and ambitious, challenging contemporary notions of submissive womanhood, slurs were also directed at her sexuality. Women who chose, or were forced, to defy such conventional gender roles often drew accusations of promiscuity or lewdness to discredit them as enemies.”
Amy Licence, Red Roses: Blanche of Gaunt to Margaret Beaufort

“she”
Amy Licence, Dangerous Lady

“Help! Put a plaster On my heart For when I remember it To be sure, I am overwhelmed with sighs I am so full of melancholy She as young and pretty when she died About twenty-two years old Gay, joyous, frolicksome, frisky Sweet, simple, modest of mein The excellent lady was called Blanche.”
Amy Licence, Red Roses: Blanche of Gaunt to Margaret Beaufort
