A History of Women in 101 Objects: A Walk Through Female History

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (32853 ratings)

Description:This is a neglected history. Not a sweeping, definitive, exhaustive history of the world but something quieter, more intimate and particular. A single journey, picked out in 101 objects, through the fascinating, too-often-overlooked, manifold histories of women.Open up this cabinet of curiosities and you'll find objects that have been highly esteemed – even, like the Bayeux tapestry, fought over by nations – and others that are humble and domestic. Some (like a 16th century glass dildo) are objects of female pleasure, some (a thumbscrew) of female subjugation. There are artefacts of women celebrated by history and of women unfairly forgotten by it; examples of female rebellion and of self-revelation; objects that are inspiring, curious or (like radium-laced chocolate) just fundamentally ill-conceived.Through the variety and nuance in all these 101 objects, Annabelle Hirsch has created a new history – teeming, unexpected, witty and always illuminating. This overdue corrective reveals what a healed femur says about civilisation, what men have to fear from hat pins, and it shows that the past has always been as complicated and fascinating as the women that peopled it.Full cast of Gillian AndersonKaty HesselAnita RaniJackie KayLen PennieAnnabelle HirschShirley MansonRebecca SolnitSandi ToksvigMarina HydeNaomi ShimadaHarriet WalterCelia ImrieKate ManneMargaret AtwoodJanina RamirezDoon MackichanHelen MirrenElif ShafakKate MosseMiriam MargolyesVal McDermidCaitlin MoranDolly AldertonOlivia ColmanSasha LaneAdjoa AndohElizabeth AcevedoSue PerkinsEce TemelkuranMary Ann SieghartAlison SteadmanMinnie DriverRebecca HallKrista TippettPatience AgbabiMichelle NewellJeanette WintersonGeraldine JamesSinead CusackTiya MilesCrystal ClarkeLouise BrealeyLeila SlimaniHelena KennedySamin NosratAnna HolmesMichelle GomezIndia KnightNatascha McElhoneLauren ElkinKate WinsletHelena Bonham CarterSylvia WhitmanNoma DumezweniMeera SyalCarey MulliganDenise GoughJacqueline WilsonSiri HustvedtGaby WoodSophie HunterLisa Kainde DiazAnnabel MullionSharleen SpiteriJennifer ClementJulia GillardJude KellyKerry FoxRuthie RogersMaggie SmithHanna SchygullaKübra GümüsayErica WagnerSandra HullerJodie WhittakerNicola SturgeonJuliet StevensonSally PhillipsAngelica HoustonLisa DwanRuth OzekiJoanna LumleyCynthia ErivoEleanor UpdegraffSinéad GleesonSalena GoddenLili TaylorMariella FrostrupKatie KitamuraSaffron HockingTahmima AnamShirin NeshatMartha WainwrightChristiane AmanpourWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
