A history of the world with the women put back in

Books
Not just another collection of short biographies, this book adds women's stories to the wider context of global history. Our perception of history is formed by those who record it, and traditionally it has been told by men, for men about the achievements of men. Women were often deemed less important, thier letters destroyed, their stories ignored. This book attempts to discover some of the missing pieces of the big puzzle of world history, by examining the sources and telling women's stories alongside men's.
