Description
"History books have either blurred, glossed, or omitted many events and people throughout history involving women and their roles in furthering the progression of the world's cultures. What is women's history? Is it the history of sex or gender? Is it scholarly history, or a feminist viewpoint? Is it the story of queens? Witches? Housewives? Rosie the Riveter? Why would one need to study the world from such a perspective? If women contribute so much, why didn't we learn about them in our early school years? Women's History For Beginners will demystify these very questions and set the record straight."--Amazon.com.
