A History of Women in 100 Objects di Maggie Andrews
This is an interesting and informative book about one of the great gaps in history as it is conventionally told -- women. The usual narrative reflects the prevailing power structure through the ages: as they say, history is written by the victors. This book attempts to correct that, focussing on objects that express the lives of women. It is interesting, very informative, and at times amusing. The objects are well chosen, and lead to interesting analysis. My only problem with the book is the size of the type in the paperback, which is all that's available on Amazon. Very hard for this old lady to read. How great it would be to have this on Kindle.… (altro)
Contents are as the title implies: Brief, but informative detail on the UK's Votes for Women movement from early female campaigners killed at the Peterloo mass demonstration in 1819 to Enfranchisement Act 1918 and then the First female MPs, & on to the passing of the leading Suffragettes. Many informative photos & illustrations from the period.
