Shevolution: Celebrating Girl Power Throughout History
€ 18.75
ISBN: 9780702333828
Everyone alive on the planet today can trace their ancestry
back to just one woman. But who would she have been? What
would her life have been like? And what has happened since for her
billions of descendants?
In an all-encompassing whistlestop tour through prehistory,
history, and on to the future,
Shevolution spans an extraordinary 200,000
years, tracing the life of the woman scientists call 'Mitochondrial
Eve' and following the journeys of the female pioneers who have
shaped us all.
Around the world, girls and women - who have ruled kingdoms,
governed empires and led pirates - have had to fight to
gain, and keep, basic human rights even into the 21st century.
Shevolution includes their stories, giving voice to the
unsung sheroes of our day.
Travel with us through early human history, first societies, ancient
cultures around the world, the rise (and fall) of empires,
featuring female leaders, the suffrage movement, the women's rights
movement, intersectionality and ... the fight to get pockets
back!
This beautifully illustrated book takes you on
a tour through women's history around the world, featuring snapshots
of what life might have been like for our theoretical common
ancestor 200,000 years ago and for women and girls at key moments
since.

Recent ethnographic research proves that women (and children!)
weren't just gatherers in hunt-gatherer societies.

New Zealand was the first country to give women the right to

the Shevolution of society.
