Dead Feminists: Historic Heroines in Living Color by Chandler O’Leary
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
An art collective started making broadsides, to commemorate famous women in history, but also to raise money for various causes. They have been doing this for a number of years, and decided to collect all of these broadsides into a book.
But what good would such a book be, if you knew nothing about the women that inspired these. So each of the braodsides, which were created, have a breakdown of why the symbles used, and text used were done, plus a short bio of each woman. And perhaps you think you know Marie Curie, or Rachel Carson, but after reading this book you will learn more, so much more.
This is a great collection of wonderful women, and wonderful history.
Everyone should ahve this book as a wonderful history lesson, as well as a beautiful piece of artwork.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
