History vs women: the defiant lives that they don't want you to know

Introduction: By their works you shall know them

Reckless rebels

Revelatory scholars

Ruthless villains

Restless artists

Relentless amazons

Afterword.

Sarkeesian and Aster introduce readers to a range of dynamic women across many different races, countries, time periods, and classes. You'll be hearing about many of them for the first time, but they made impacts on their societies. Why have their historical contributions been lost? The authors know that it is easier to learn about white, Western people

especially males

than of people of color, queer and trans folks, and people with disabilities. They hope to reframe the history you thought you knew.
