Mistress of the Vatican: The True Story of Olimpia Maidalchini: The Secret Female Pope by Eleanor Herman
5.0
Olimpia is inspiring!
I really enjoyed this book and the fantastic romp through 1600s Rome contained within. The corruption described seems fictional in its excess but no doubt it is true. Well researched. My only quibble is a lot of assumptions on her feelings with seemingly little direct attribution.
