History Vs Women: The Defiant Lives That They Don't Want You to Know by Anita Sarkeesian, Ebony Adams
4.0
To all the women whose stories were never told, whose songs were never sung, and whose works were never celebrated. May the knowledge of your lives stir up ambitious dreams in new generations of women who will never be forgotten.
This was a great selection of unknown women who I learned a little bit about while reading this book! I also really loved the illustration of them at the beginning of each of their stories, it really brought the person they were talking about to life.
I do appreciate that the authors did include many people of color in this book, but was disappointed that there were only two LGBTQ+ stories: Lucy Hicks Anderson a trans black women and the swashbuckling duo Ana de Urinza and Eustaquia de Sonza. Hopefully if they do a volume 2 they will include more!
Overall a really great collection of amazing women and I feel more empowered just reading about them!
