Can women be geniuses? Or are their arms too short? Why did we only
learn about three women at school? What were all the others
doing? 'Brilliantly, mordantly funny and extremely clever... There isn't a
man, woman or child who wouldn't benefit from spending time with this.'
India Knight The Trouble With Women does for girls what 1066 and All
That did for boys: it reminds us of what we were taught about women in
history lessons at school, which is to say, not a lot. A brilliantly
witty book of cartoons, it reveals some of our greatest thinkers'
baffling theories about women.
We learn that even Charles
Darwin, long celebrated for his open, objective scientific mind,
believed that women would never achieve anything important, because of
their smaller brains. Get ready to laugh, wince and rescue forgotten
women from the 'dustbin of history', whilst keeping a close eye out for
tell-tale 'genius hair'. You will never look at history in the same way
again.
