History Vs Women: The Defiant Lives That They Don't Want You to Know by Ebony Adams, Anita Sarkeesian
4.0
*I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*
This is a harder review to write because the formatting and display of the e-ARC was mixed up in places. So, it is a little hard to determine my thoughts on the writing, but I still have a favorable opinion of this book.
This isn't the first women's history nonfiction I've read -- heck this is actually the 3rd this year. It has been a popular year for forgotten women of history. Yet, all three books have different writing styles, categories, and even women to talk about. There is of course some crossover, but surprisingly, this book only contained about 4 I've read about before, and that might be because it is so difficult for English-speakers to learn about or be able to translate texts from other languages.
I like how a picture is included with the text and the highlighted passages were usually ones I would have wanted noticed. Also, I love how a section for bad women of history is included as well, and explained why we need to recognize women of all different areas of history, the good and the evil.
I think this book handled issues well and it felt like they did try to branch out from Western history.
This is another book I think people should read just so they can learn about forgotten people of history.
