Description

Theres history as its told, and then theres history as it actually happened. You may think you know the stories behind the worlds most well-known, groundbreaking achievements, but To Her Credit is here to make you reevaluate our collective story as it has been written. This book celebrates the stories of women, from ancient times until the 1990s, whose contributions have been overwritten and, far too often, accredited to men.

The pattern of female achievements being stolen, overwritten, or straight-up ignored is as old as time. Authors Kaitlin Culmo and Emily McDermott with stunning art by Kezia Gabriella reclaim the work of these deserving heroines and offer reminders of what we lose when we dont question history as it has been written.

This book tells the stories of women who have been left out of historys accolades. Its time to talk about the thousands of years worth of art, inventions, innovations, and world-changing achievements made by women that have been ascribed to men.
