isabelleverdino 's review for:
Who Cooked the Last Supper?: The Women's History of the World
by Rosalind Miles
2.5⭐️
There was so much in this book that was interesting and important. And, disappointing but not surprising, I’ve made it through K-12 and a college education without learning most of these struggles and stories.
On the other hand, I listened to this on audiobook. So I couldn’t skim past sections detailing violence and sexual violence against women throughout history. It made me uncomfortable and, while I can understand the importance of facing uncomfortable history, I wished there had been more stories of women carving their own path and not facing death or torture for it.
Lastly, I have never heard the words vulva and penis said out loud to me quite so much and I doubt I ever will again.
