Description
Women's accomplishments across history are showcased as aberrations or surprising facts. Little thought is often given to the reasons why most of our lauded scientists, reporters, sports stars, politicians, and businesspeople all seem to be men.
Uncredited proves that not only have there been hundreds of ground-breaking women in all professions, but that their accomplishments have been overlooked, denigrated, or downright repressed by their male colleagues or historians. Uncredited explores why women have not been properly acknowledged for their accomplishments, both historically and today.
This book combines research and statistics with the stories of more than 600 women, and is both an academic source and a fascinating read. Prepare to be frustrated with the history you've been denied but also inspired by these hidden trailblazers.
Author
Allison Tyra is the creator and manager of Infinite Women, an ever-expanding encyclopedia of women. After reading the stories of tens of thousands of women and wondering why she’d never heard of many of them, she began compiling notes for what would become her debut book, Uncredited. Although most of Allison’s creative projects have been performance-based, Uncredited is a return to her journalistic roots. An American ex-pat, Allison lives in regional Australia with her husband and what he says are far too many cats and she feels are not enough.
