Discover the hidden history of women—and the world—through this visual exploration of intimate objects and the surprising, sometimes shocking, stories behind them.
A History of Women in 101 Objects tells a new story, revealing the central, surprising, and critical role women have played in society through the quiet power of their everyday items—from Tupperware to Hannah Arendt’s brooch.
A beautiful book featuring 101 B&W images throughout, this gift book will attract parents, teachers, and feminists. While readers may pick up the book for its design, the writing and the stories throughout are incredibly compelling and surprising.
The objects included comprise a fantastically diverse group of women’s stories of different races, nationalities, backgrounds, and creative mediums, inspiring girls and women from all walks of life, and features intimate stories from the objects (and lives) of prominent women such as George Sand, Hannah Arendt, Aretha Franklin, and many more.
