Off with Her Head: Three Thousand Years of Demonizing Women in Power by Eleanor Herman
informative
medium-paced
3.5
Solid book overall, but it would’ve been stronger if Herman had consistently talked about misogynoir throughout the book in addition to giving it its own chapter.
I was also not thrilled with the cissexist language and wish the author would’ve discussed transmisogyny, as it would’ve further strengthened her argument. Still, I learned a lot about misrepresented women leaders and am eager to learn more about them thanks to this book.
