This one was rage inducing. I knew it would be bad going into it but I never realized just how bad. I'm still trying to process some of the examples the author used. #audiobook #scribd #nonfiction

Excellent read!
Eleanor Herman outlines the reasons, with facts, about why women have been demonized throughout history. I love the deep dive she does through history to give a different, more accurate portrayal of women who were typically seen as "difficult" simply because they dared to push pass their designated stations in life.
Lots of great information in this one.
This weekend's book haul from the Wisconsin Book Festival and my library book sale. I grabbed an extra copy of Nerd for my son.
Women and men are treated differently in leadership roles, and while it has been written about a lot recently, I enjoyed Herman‘s take on it. I especially appreciated her deep dive into historical texts about Elizabeth I, Catherine de Medici, and others. She also looked at modern politicians from Bhutto to Kim Campbell to May, but she circled back to Hillary often. Hillary was treated horribly & unfairly, but I enjoyed the historical aspects more.
