Omschrijving
From a hunger strike medal to a bidet, the Amazon rainforest to the plantations of South Carolina, Simone de Beauvoir to Beyoncé, this is the story of women as never seen before
An ambitious project, wide in scope, idiosyncratic in approach . . . The power of this book is cumulative; read as a whole it becomes increasingly affecting. At its heart it is about female pain, female bravery and female creativity
Hirsch provides a rich, subversive take on history . . . The scope and delicious imaginative leaps of Hirsch's work, translated from German by Eleanor Updegraff, start to work their magic. I guarantee many readers will be exposed to something new
Whimsical, fun and witty. Annabelle Hirsch's book is a like a treasure hunt through history, culture, politics, fashion and art
A reminder, lest we forget, that women are and have always been, whether quietly or vociferously, on the periphery or centre stage, the engine, the glue, the inspiration behind it all
I adored this book! Hirsch's intimate observational gifts turn that world into a rousing, living record of all that we have wrestled with
A History Of Women In 101 Objects isn't just my best book of 2023. I'll keep it on my desk for years and whenever I need a coffee break or a pause for inspiration, I'll dip into it. Annabelle Hirsch's book is written with great flair and style, her sly wit giving us a new perspective on our lives
A fantastic cabinet of curiosities that rethinks the role of women in history. Educational, funny - a joy!
I love this book . . . A new feminist history of the world . . . Stirring, provocative and carefully researched
Contributes to the growing canon of literature that presents history from a female perspective . . . Inspiring
Hirsch tells the story of the women behind everyday items, how women's image has evolved throughout history and the role women have played in society. Hirsch perfectly balances humour and an engaging style to provide a voice to the voiceless
