Description

While women account for 50% of the population they only occupy around 0.5% of recorded history. When pre-history turned into history, and, as new civilisations expanded, society became more militarised, and the story of ''humanity'' was often filtered through male perspectives. So the tales of many strong and powerful women became stifled and forgotten. It's time to restore the stories of feisty, courageous, and athletic females into the historical narrative. It's time to reconsider what it means for men and women to be human and to seek to excel. Jane Daoud's The Power of Women takes an important step toward that goal.
