epellicci's review against another edition
informative
slow-paced
3.0
An enthusiastic and easily digestible collection of historical and biographical essays on women that Murray is inspired by. I found A History of the World in 21 Women bright and impassioned. I did not always agree with Murray's overall enthusiasm for some of the women she writes about, but part of the joy of the book is listening to her perspective - and its difference to my own. Graphic, hopeful, and glowing with respect for women and their stories.
