Gender: A World History by Susan Kingsley Kent

4.0

---

I wish anyone who undermines the history of misogyny could read this. I wish anybody who believes that gender roles are “natural” could read this. I wish that there had been some trigger warnings because the descriptions of sexual assault in the book are brutal. It contained a fairly good international variety, but at times felt a bit too cursory. I think it is a good text for someone who is wanting a quick overview of world history, but it could have been 50% longer, and still kept me very engaged.
