The whole idea of male superiority stands strong in a vacuum created by the suppression of thoughts, ideas, and works for female.
This suppression worked in many forms, from outrightly removing any reference/work from the records to brazen theft. Challenging the notion that history is made by man and woman just existed in the margins is an insult to all the brave and intelligent women who had the equal right to fame and history.
The author picks some of the most prominent women from history who excelled in war, intellect, innovation, religion, business and what not.
Its not a comprehensive list but you don't need a comprehensive list to understand the contribution of female, and how they were marginalised.
Peace
