NetGalley Review: Uncredited: Women's Overlooked, Misattributed, and Stolen Work by Allison Tyra

My Rating: ✩✩✩✩✩

This enlightening history of women's erasure is as uplifting as it is enraging. Covering stories from hundreds of women in over 90 chapters, this is a necessarily long read. That said, the information is broken down cleverly by categories with each chapter being a bite sized summary of how women and their accomplishments have been removed from popular history. This makes it a perfect read for when you only have a few minutes between work, home and family (ironically, a core issue for many of these brilliant women), or when you want to spend an entire afternoon stoking your feminist rage. I could talk all day about all the amazing history I learned from this book, but I will save the fun for future readers. Just know, if dissing Christopher Columbus as a "genocidal A#&hole who couldn't even find India" is your jam, pick this book up immediately.
