Details
by Ellen Tyler (Author)
Within the pages of this book are the stories of 10 women in history who made significant contributions to society but were under-appreciated and silenced because of gender bias. The author tells their stories in which these women struggled against the patriarchal system and defied expectations to attain their goals in various fields, including science, technology, politics, sports, arts and literature and journalism.
The "Matilda Effect" is a phenomenon that stands for the prejudice against celebrating the achievements of female scientists, instead giving credit for their accomplishments to their male counterparts. This book highlights victims of the "Matilda Effect," injustices of gender inequality, male bias and the societal norms of their era. The woman and their stories encourage future generations of women to pursue their passions, understand their significant role in influencing the world, and answer this question; "Is it really a man's world"?A few of these Extraordinary Women in History include:
- Hedy Lamarr - The Mother of Wifi
- Astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell - Deep Space Radio Pulsars
- The Pearl Twirlling - Zelda Fitzgerald
- The Pirate Queen - Sayyida al-Hurra
