What’s Her Name? By Olivia Meikle, Dr. Katie Nelson AudioBook summary
What if some of the most iconic lives in human history were, for centuries, forgotten?
From the earliest human civilizations through to the present day, the stories of countless influential women – leaders, artists, warriors, scientists and more – have been ignored, forgotten, or actively suppressed. You’ve probably not encountered the likes of Fatima al-Fihri (an Islamic World visionary who founded the world’s first university), Ching Shih (the most successful pirate in history), or Huda Sha’arawi (a pioneering Egyptian feminist leader, suffragette, nationalist, and founder of the Egyptian Feminist Union), but that’s about to change.
In What’s Her Name: A History of the World in 70 Lost Women, authors – and sisters – Olivia Meikle and Katie Nelson weave together the captivating stories of these forgotten figures to tell an alternative, enthralling and deeply researched historical narrative.
