Overview
The women who shaped and were erased from our history.
“To say this [book] is "empowering" doesn't do it justice. Buy a copy for your daughters, sisters, mums, aunts and nieces - just make sure you buy a copy for your sons, brothers, dads, uncles and nephews, too.” - indy100
“Here's to no more forgotten women.” - London Evening Standard
Forgotten Women reaches around the world and its history to rediscover, retell and reinstate the lives of over 190 important and significant women. From Neolithic times to modernity, Zing Tsjeng has traced the women who have shaped their age and revolutionized society. Activists, leaders, warriors, spies, writers, artists and scientists (including 48 Nobel prize winners), woman have been active in all spheres of human achievement but rarely credited for their massive contribution. Despite extraordinary barriers and prejudice they have succeeded in changing the world but have been written out of its history. Forgotten Woman is the start of an attempt to remedy that omission.
In this book lies the strength, lives and sacrifices of women who have refused to accept the hand they've been dealt and have changed the course of our futures accordingly.
