As a general rule, history books are filed with the exploits of men, meaning that half of the story is missing. Focusing on how women are on the frontlines of history, here are profiles of trailblazing women like Cleopatra, Florence Nightingale, Sojourner Truth, Frida Kahlo, and Rosa Parks. Packed full of evocative images on nearly every page, this worldwide survey reveals the key events in women's history, from early matriarchal societies and Viking warrior-women through the Suffragette revolution, 20th-century feminism, and the #MeToo movement. Insets provide additional information, and thought-provoking quotations are peppered throughout the book.
