Who Cooked the Last Supper?
Who Cooked the Last Supper?: The Women's History of the World | Rosalind Miles
Men dominate history because men write history. There have been many heroes, but no heroines. This is the book that overturns that "phallusy of history," giving voice to the true history of the world — which, always and forever, must include the contributions of millions of unsung women. Here is the history you never learned — but should have! Without politics or polemics, this brilliant and witty book overturns centuries of preconceptions to restore women to their rightful place at the center of culture, revolution, empire, war, and peace. Spiced with tales of individual women who have shaped civilization, celebrating the work and lives of women around the world, distinguished by a wealth of research, Who Cooked the Last Supper? redefines our concept of historical reality. From the Trade Paperback edition.

I have read three similar books about this topic - forgotten women in history - and so far, not one of them has really satisfied me. This book does a fairly good job until about 50%. It mainly focused on white, English speaking women. Only a few sentences were said about women of colour, especially black women were presented as an afterthought. Gay & Trans Women were missing almost completely.

‘Now God was no longer in the thunder, or far away in the clouds veiling the peak of the distant mountain range - he was in every male authority figure from priest to judge and king, he was in every woman‘s father, brother and uncle; he was in her husband, so he was at her board and in her bed. Finally, and most important of all, he was in her head.‘ #finished
