The
internationally bestselling author of Who Cooked the Last Supper? presents a wickedly witty and very current
history of the extraordinary female rebels, reactionaries, and trailblazers
who left their mark on history from the French Revolution up to the present
day.
Now
is the time for a new women's history--for the famous, infamous, and unsung
women to get their due--from the Enlightenment to the #MeToo movement.
Recording the important milestones in the birth of the modern
feminist movement and the rise of women into greater social, economic, and
political power, Miles takes us through through a colorful pageant of
astonishing women, from heads of state like Empress Cixi, Eugenia Charles,
Indira Gandhi, Jacinda Ardern, and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to political
rainmakers Kate Sheppard, Carrie Chapman Catt, Anna Stout, Dorothy Height,
Shirley Chisholm, Winnie Mandela, STEM powerhouses Jocelyn Bell Burnell,
Rosalind Franklin, Sophia Kovalevskaya, Marie Curie, and Ada Lovelace, revolutionaries Olympe de Gouges, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Patyegarang, and writer/intellectuals
Mary Wollstonecraft, Simon de Beauvoir, Elaine Morgan, and Germaine Greer. Women
in the arts, women in sports, women in business, women in religion, women in
politics--this is a one-stop roundup of the tremendous progress women have made
in the modern era.
A testimony to how women have persisted--and excelled--this is a
smart and stylish popular history for all readers.
