History Vs Women: The Defiant Lives That They Don't Want You to Know by Anita Sarkeesian, Ebony Adams

4.0

This is a good selection of subjects, from around the world and throughout history. The 19th-21st centuries are maybe a little more represented mostly due to information available. The author points out the lack of details known in too many cases. She also laments the names and accomplishments completely lost to us today because no one recorded (or possibly even believed) what women did. The emphasis is on women who excelled in male fields: warfare, science, politics, crime, and athletics. The author really tried to select subjects readers will probably less aware of, especially women of color.

The entries are very short. They are obviously meant to be read because the reader is interested, not to fulfill a school assignment.

I really enjoyed the casual writing style.
