Bestselling historian Dan Jones and the brilliant artist Marina Amaral
have combined their talents to create a illuminating visual history of
women around the world.
Dan Jones and Marina Amaral, the acclaimed team behind The Color of
Time, combine their talents again to explore the many roles--domestic,
social, cultural and professional--played by women across the world
before second-wave feminism took hold.
Using Marina Amaral's colorized images and Dan Jones's words, this
survey features women both celebrated and ordinary, whether in the home
or the science lab, protesting on the streets or performing on stage,
fighting in the trenches or exploring the wild. This vivid and unique
history brings to life and full color the female experience in a century
of extraordinary change.
Each chapter will be introduced by a woman who works in that field today
and the book includes photographs of Queen Victoria, Edith Cavell,
Josephine Baker, Mildred Burke, Eva Peron, Eleanor Roosevelt, Virginia
Woolf, Clara Schumann, Martha Gellhorn, Simone de Beauvoir, Agatha
Christie, Frida Kahlo, Emmeline Pankhurst, Harriet Tubman, Florence
Nightingale, Hattie McDaniel and Gertrude Bell; as well as
revolutionaries from China to Cuba, Geishas in Japan, protestors on the
Salt March, teachers and pilots, nurses and soldiers.
In combination of vivid pictures and stirring prose, The Color of Time:
Women in History, brings history to life from the vantage point of
women who lived it.
