This history, full of anecdotes and first-hand accounts, centres on women through the ages who have sidestepped restraint and raised the eyebrows of their contemporaries by choosing to make their own, often highly idiosyncratic, way of life. The pedigree of the modern career woman is not generally supposed to be long, reaching back only as far as those late Victorian pioneers who stormed the bastions of male professions. Jane Robinson looks back over some 25 centuries and proves that theory quit... This history, full of anecdotes and first-hand accounts, centres on women through the ages who have sidestepped restraint and raised the eyebrows of their contemporaries by choosing to make their own, often highly idiosyncratic, way of life. The pedigree of the modern career woman is not generally supposed to be long, reaching back only as far as those late Victorian pioneers who stormed the bastions of male professions. Jane Robinson looks back over some 25 centuries and proves that theory quite wrong. The 100 or so women portrayed here were busy behind the scenes of recorded history, in the course of earning an honest (or perhaps not) independent living. Their enterprize and flair led them to careers as diverse as they are improbable, ranging from engineers, plumbers and surgeons, to naval commander in the Persian Wars, a Dark-Age pope, a successful Orcadian wind-seller, some pirates, a Royal Marine and a stockbroker who ran for president of the US.Taal: Engels;Afmetingen: 241x163 mm;Gewicht: 560,00 gram;ISBN10: 0094805105;ISBN13: 9780094805101; Engelstalig | Hardcover.
