A review by thecolourblue
From Eve to Dawn, A History of Women in the World, Volume II: The Masculine Mystique: From Feudalism to the French Revolution by Marilyn French

informative slow-paced

3.0

French's Eve to Dawn series is impressive purely by the fact of its scope. There might be better books about gender and specific periods of history out there, but French's epic and global scale are impressive, even if it leads to drawing some conclusions across cultural lines or from ancient times that might not stand up to closer scrutiny or erase the nuance of a closer lens.
