description: Reexamining history from a female perspective this book celebrates the pivotal but less well-known roles women have played in culture and society.Packed full of evocative images this gloriously illustrated book reveals the key events in women's history--from early matriarchal societies through women's suffrage the Suffragette movement 20th-century feminism and gender politics to recent movements such as #MeToo and International Women's Day--and the key role women have had in shaping our past.Learn about the everyday lives of women through the ages as well as the big names of women's history--powerful inspirational and trailblazing women such as Cleopatra Florence Nightingale Emmeline Pankhurst Eva Peron and Rosa Parks--and discover the unsung contributions of lesser-known women who have changed the world and the forgotten events of women's history.Placing women firmly center stage Women: An Illustrated History shows women where they came from and in celebrating the achievements of women of the past offers positive role models for women of today.
