What I Learned from A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes

1. Women’s thoughts and roles in history and myth are way too often overlooked.
2. War is a hell that doesn’t just harm those who are active combatants in it.
3. A person can be both a victim and a perpetrator. Sometimes they’re both at once other times they take the role at different points in their life.
4. Heroism isn’t just determined by those who physically fight. Even non-combatants can be heroes in their own right.
