This book celebrates the stories of women, from ancient times until the 1990s, whose contributions have been overwritten and accredited to men. The pattern of female achievements being stolen, overwritten, or straight-up ignored is as old as time. Authors Kaitlin Culmo and Emily McDermott reclaim the work of these heroines and offer reminders of what we lose when we don't question history as it has been written.

Самая интересная аудиокнига про Средние века от автора бестселлера «Чумазое Средневековье». Мы читали о них в рыцарских романах и сатирических новеллах Боккаччо, видели в фильмах, разглядывали на картинах. Но единого мнения как не было, так и нет. Это и понятно – что может быть общего у благородных прекрасных принцесс, ради которых рыцари совершают подвиги, и грязных крестьянок, безропотно умирающих где-то там, на заднем плане сериала или романа?

In The Silver Women, Joan Flores-Villalobos argues that Black West Indian women made the Panama Canal construction possible by providing the indispensable everyday labor of social reproduction. West Indian women built a provisioning economy that fed, housed, and cared for the segregated Black West Indian labor force, in effect subsidizing the construction effort and the racial calculus that separated pay in silver for Black workers and gold for white Americans.

During the 1970s, grassroots women activists in and outside of prisons forged a radical politics against gender violence and incarceration. Emily L.

Edith Hamilton didn’t publish her first book until she was 62. But over the next three decades this former headmistress would become the twentieth century’s most famous interpreter of the classical world.

During the Cold War, her influence even extended to politics, as she argued that postwar America could learn from the fate of Athens after its victory in the Persian Wars. Victoria Houseman tells the fascinating life story of a remarkable classicist whose ideas were shaped by—and aspired to shape—her times.

Elizabeth Cobbs gives voice to fearless women on both sides of the aisle, most of whom considered themselves patriots.
