Showing results for "Overlooked" in Women

We know women are as good as men—so why haven’t we heard of more women? Allison Tyra brings together more than 600 stories, encompassing thousands of women from throughout history, around the world, and across different fields, combined with statistics, research, and other data to answer this fundamental question and challenge ingrained misconceptions about women and their work.

1775: Overlooked Heroines focuses entirely on ordinary women who broke away from their social constraints to become soldiers, spies, and heroines in the American Revolutionary War. These women physically fought for America to be free from colonial imperialism, but yet society fails to recant their names. 1775: Overlooked Heroines fills in the gaps of history and places these women back into the historical narrative, whose names are less celebrated and are overshadowed or misattributed simply because they are women.
