The Color of Time by Dan Jones
Bestselling historian Dan Jones and the brilliant artist Marina Amaral have combined their talents to create a illuminating visual history of women around the world. Dan Jones and Marina Amaral, the acclaimed team behind The Color of Time, combine their talents again to explore the many roles--domestic, social, cultural and professional--played by women across the world before second-wave feminism took hold. Using Marina Amaral's colorized images and Dan Jones's words, this survey features women both celebrated and ordinary, whether in the home or the science lab, protesting on the streets or performing on stage, fighting in the trenches or exploring the wild. This vivid and unique history brings to life and full color the female experience in a century of extraordinary change. Each chapter will be introduced by a woman who works in that field today and the book includes photographs of Queen Victoria, Edith Cavell, Josephine Baker, Mildred Burke, Eva Peron, Eleanor Roosevelt, Virginia Woolf, Clara Schumann, Martha Gellhorn, Simone de Beauvoir, Agatha Christie, Frida Kahlo, Emmeline Pankhurst, Harriet Tubman, Florence Nightingale, Hattie McDaniel and Gertrude Bell; as well as revolutionaries from China to Cuba, Geishas in Japan, protestors on the Salt March, teachers and pilots, nurses and soldiers. In combination of vivid pictures and stirring prose, The Color of Time: Women in History, brings history to life from the vantage point of women who lived it.Dan Jones is the author of The Plantagenets: The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Built England, which was a #1 international bestseller and a New York Times bestseller, as well as Wars of the Roses, which chronicles the Plantagenets' fall and the Tudors' unlikely ascent, Magna Carta: The Birth of Liberty, and Summer of Blood: England's First Revolution. He starred alongside George R.R. Martin in the Netflix series Secrets of Great British Castles, which he wrote and presented. Martin appears in the HBO documentary that delves into the true origins of Game of Thrones. Knightfall, an A&E drama about the Templars, used him as a historical adviser.
