Unsatisfying

(3 Sterne)

The chapters are too short; though the author is hardly "sexist."

best book

(5 Sterne)

love this book I like this application

(2 Sterne)

A wonderful list of famous and not so famous females. Though clearly, "Women of History" was written by a man.

(0,5 Sterne)

Such great women, such terrible sexist writing!
