A journey, picked out in 101 objects, through the fascinating, too-often-overlooked, manifold histories of women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOpen up this cabinet of curiosities and you'll find objects that have been highly esteemed and others that are humble and domestic. Some (like a sixteenth century glass dildo) are objects of female pleasure, some (a thumbscrew) of female subjugation. There are artefacts of women celebrated by history and of women unfairly forgotten by it; examples of female rebellion and of self-revelation; objects that are inspiring, curious or (like radium-laced chocolate) just fundamentally ill-conceived. In this compendium, Annabelle Hirsch reveals a new history - teeming, unexpected, witty and always illuminating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55309484196214,"sku":"9781837260416","price":11.11,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_36350583.jpg?v=1759441934","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781837260416-history-of-women-in-101-objects","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
