I enjoyed the pre-1945 chapters. Throughout, the book worked more as an encyclopaedia and some facts could have been edited out for brevity.

Super interesting and I learned  ALOT. Definitely one I'd like to come back to again in the future as 25hours of audio is something I 100% wont remember.

A tour de force full of fascinating detail. Gregory shows how the position of women has moved forwards and backwards over the centuries. She illustrates the imposition of a binary view of sex/gender and how the "nature" of women has been endlessly redefined suit men and the current status quo.
