À propos de la quatrième de couverture

WHY IS IT HIS-STORY, NOT HER-STORY?

Girls have been around just as long as boys, haven't they? Yes! So why don't we hear more about great women from the past?

You might know of a few: JOAN OF ARC maybe, or BOADICEA or FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE, but . . . did you know there were female GLADIATORS called Gladiatrices? Or that Nimkasi was the Sumerian GODDESS OF BEER? Or that it was Mary Jacob Phelps who INVENTED THE BRA?

Just because we don't hear about them doesn't mean they haven't achieved AMAZING THINGS, come up with WONDERFUL INVENTIONS or WON BATTLES!

In this fascinating and witty book, jam-packed with storiesand information, best-selling author and TV personality Sandi Toksvig proves that girls can do anything boys can . . . and do it better!
