Where are the Women? A Guide to an Imagined Scotland by Sara Sheridan

5.0

What an essential book for the 21st Century. Why do we mainly have monuments of men, and areas named after men? This book reminds both sexes that women have contributed to our history more than we realize. It is something we need to offer in schools regularly and send to politicians to read and understand why these changes need to take place. I received this book in July and began reading it while many of the BIOPC and Black Lives Matter protests were taking place. They were removing old statues that were celebrating white guys who had slaves or supported slavery and other inhumane acts. I am so glad I have the ability to educate myself on these issues and plan to continue doing so in the future.
