(May 2016)
There is a woman who occasionally crops up
on my twitter feed who spends a large part of her time responding to men with
anime avatars asking “BUT WHAT HAVE THE WOMENZ EVER DONE FOR US?” by sending
them explicit lists of accomplished women in science, politics, the arts, and
such like. A service that is both valuable and depressing in its necessity.
This book is basically the mediaeval version of that, made even more depressing
because apparently we’re still having these arguments more than half a millennium
later. Plus ça change.
