Krátky popis
More than twenty-five years ago The Women's History of the World,
by the brilliant historian, journalist and academic, Rosalind
Miles, burst upon the world. It was instantly lauded and applauded
by everyone from A.S. Byatt ('Witty, balanced, inexorable .. . and
splendid') to the Washington Post('an inspiration').The book went
on to be a longstanding Sunday Timesbestseller, was translated into
almost 40 foreign languages and became a New York Timesbestseller.
Now it is time for Rebel Women: All you wanted to know about
women's history from 1800 to the modern day. This is history as
made by women: famous, infamous and little known, whose actions
changed the course of the world. We begin with the French
Revolution when one woman took on the Fraternite of man, then it's
off to America to round up the other rebels who paved the way,
fighting side by side for freedom with their men. In Australia we
celebrate a mass mooning by female convicts of Queen Victoria's
Vice-Regent and his lady wife, and the dogged, often desperate
courage of all the women who dared to think that they could change
the world.Along the way we highlight the age-old cruelties and
injustices suffered by women worldwide which the modern age has
done little to challenge or change like forced marriage and
femicide, while recording every milestone in the long march of
women towards equality and the full life. In a colourful pageant of
astonishing women, we track through to the birth of modern
womanhood with the one small question of the Swinging Sixties which
changed everything: Betty Friedan's ",Is This all?", Women in
space, women in jail, women in-skirts, women in burkas, women in
power - all female life is there. We end in the current day -
breathless but thrilled with what women can and have and will do.
Brave, brilliant, unrivalled in its wit and erudition, Rebel Women
is a hugely readable book.
