About
April 18, - Kayla Cobb. The series, which is now on Netflixfocuses on inserting women back into history. One of the greatest aspects of this docu-series is its matter-of-fact tone. Biographer and historian Amanda Foreman hosts the series, and from the first time she speaks, Foreman makes it clear she believes women have been oppressed in history and by our retelling of history.
Description
Not one. How many Shakespeares are there in all England today?
Railro and ships are built, homes are kept going, and babies are born. The world goes on.
I am not concerned that you should think we women could paint great pictures or compose immortal music, or write good books. I am content.
The history of women is the history of the world. The success of this effort was so complete that the very framework of history was changed beyond recognition. The book seeks to correct the myth of the thwarted Everywoman who struggled from the dawn of time to the dawn of the Pill.
Cleopatra, for example, ruled Egypt in an age where the rights and status of Egyptian women were a challenge to the Romans, and an outrage to the Greeks. By comparison, Margaret Thatcher led Britain in an era where the rights and status of women were being re-appraised in the West, ignored in the Sub-Continent, and reduced in the Middle East.
In between these two epochs lies a rich history that should be appreciated for its own sake rather than for its anticipated terminus. Learn more about the BBC2 series inspired by the book here.
