Description

Journey through thousands of years of human history (now with the women put back in).

From the earliest human civilizations through to the present day, the stories of countless influential women – leaders, artists, warriors, scientists and more – have been ignored, forgotten, or actively suppressed. In What’s Her Name: A History of the World in 80 Lost Women, Olivia Meikle and Katie Nelson restore women’s stories to their rightful place in world history.

Based on the acclaimed podcast, What’s Her Name, this is a truly global history that weaves together biographies of incredible women spanning six continents and thousands of years, from Ancient Egypt and the Roman Empire to imperial China, the Americas and post-war Europe. This book tells a captivating and funny, thought-provoking and deeply researched historical narrative. Drawing on years of study and interviews with dozens of experts, this is an insightful and enthralling look at the trailblazing women you may not have heard of (but should have).

Katie Nelson has a PhD in History from the University of Warwick and has been teaching a wide range of courses in world history and the meaning of life at Weber State University. She is co-author of The Book of Sisters and A Stinky History of Toilets and lives in Utah.
