Synge is a collection of historical accounts aimed primarily at school-aged children, written in the early 20th century. This anthology features brief biographies of influential English women throughout history, presenting their lives, contributions, and the societal contexts in which they lived. By focusing on figures like Queen Bertha, Maude the Good, and Eleanor of Aquitaine, the book underscores the significant roles women have played in shaping English history. The opening of the book begins with the life story of Queen Bertha, the first Christian queen of England, who, despite leading a seemingly uneventful life, influenced her kingdom through her personal commitment to Christianity. She is depicted as a beacon of light during a time of heathen darkness, promoting the faith through her good deeds and the joyful upbringing of her children. The narrative unfolds her royal lineage, her marriage to the Saxon King Ethelbert, and their pivotal role in the Christianization of Kent, culminating in Ethelbert's eventual baptism—signifying the broader impact Bertha had on the religious landscape of England. This introduction sets the stage for the subsequent profiles of other remarkable women, highlighting their quiet yet formidable contributions to society.
