History vs Women: The Defiant Lives that They Don't Want You to Know by Anita Sarkeesian

Looking through the ages and across the globe, Anita Sarkeesian, founder of Feminist Frequency, along with Ebony Adams PhD, have reclaimed the stories of twenty-five remarkable women who dared to defy history and change the world around them. From Mongolian wrestlers to Chinese pirates, Native American ballerinas to Egyptian scientists, Japanese novelists to British prime ministers, History vs Women will reframe the history that you thought you knew. Featuring beautiful full-colour illustrations of each woman and a bold graphic design, this standout nonfiction title is the perfect read for teens (or adults!) who want the true stories of phenomenal women from around the world and across generations whose lives and accomplishments impacted both their societies and our own.

History vs Women Reviews

"Readers of all ages, across the globe and socioeconomic spectrum, can find an icon to look up to within these pages. Filled with strength, this collection is incredibly inspiring and will instill in teens a take-charge attitude and powerful mind-set." -- School Library Journal, Starred Review

"This collective biography of women who have boldly made their marks on a world that often took great pains to deny them makes a concentrated effort to shine a spotlight on those outside of the white, Western canon...This engaging, crisply designed book attempts to break barriers at every opportunity....A superbly well-rounded addition for collections looking to expand beyond recitations of the familiar." --Booklist, Starred Review
