Who Cooked the Last Supper?: The Women's History of the World by Rosalind Miles
2.5
2.5 stars out of 5
This was all over the place. There was minimal organization as to how the author was delivering the information which is what made it absolutely difficult to remained engaged with the material. Women history is complex and while the author did try to keep come of the nuance, she never went further when I would have loved her to. It was like this throughout the book: the author will finally reach an interesting portion of a topic, give us enough to pull us in and then move on to something else. It was genuinely frustrating lol. As someone that is quite well-read in Women's History, this did not give me any new or exciting insight, but I assume this might be a good introduction for those with little to no knowledge.
P.S. I know this is such a inconsequential thing, but with such a fascinating title you would think the Last Supper reference would be discussed at least once, but nope.
