A very warm welcome to"Dead Feminists" The world wants it. Jill Lepore, "New York Times"bestselling author of"Book of Ages"and"The Secret History of Wonder Woman" At once a tale of claiming the process and technology to tell our stories and a history of women, this book introduces us to remarkable women we never knew, and reintroduces us to those we only thought we knew. These dead feminists, so often kept in the shadows, glow with life. Kseniya Thomas & Jessica C.
