Christine Bennet was originally an English and History teacher. While Christine loved to share stories and educate her students, she left teaching to focus on writing. She has always wanted to write a book about some of the topics she taught at school.
“There are so many women in history who have either been forgotten or never highlighted for the amazing things that they achieved. I find it a fascinating area to write within. I am so glad that people are inspired to share my book with their daughters.” —Christine Bennet
When Christine is not writing, she loves to spend time in her garden and has a healthy veggie patch. Her pets are very dear to her and follow her around her home, whether she is inside or out. She of course loves reading whether it be non-fiction or fiction.
