The inimitable Jenni Murray celebrates great women from around the world - rescuing some from obscurity and shining a new light on familiar names
Klappentext:
From the bestselling author of A History of Britain in 21 Women
The history of the world is the history of great women.
Marie Curie discovered radium and revolutionised medical science. Empress Cixi transformed China. Frida Kahlo turned an unflinching eye on life and death. Anna Politkovskaya dared to speak truth to power, no matter the cost. Their names should be shouted from the rooftops.
And that is exactly what Jenni Murray is here to do.
Rezension:
'Each story has been lovingly researched and crafted with care... The book is written in a fresh, accessible, at times witty style... Murray skilfully interweaves stories of the familiar with the lesser-known, and brings new information to light... Not only has Murray succeeded in her aim to celebrate women's achievements, but this book is an achievement in itself - one that everyone who identifies as a feminist (and anyone who doesn't) should read.'
