THE WOMEN'S HISTORY OF THE MODERN WORLD How Radicals, Rebels, and Everywomen Revolutionized the Last 200 Years

Adopting a mixture of straightforward narration and subtle emotion, Erin Bennett narrates this lengthy history perfectly described by its subtitle: "How Radicals, Rebels, and Everywomen Revolutionized the Last 200 Years." From the role of women in the French Revolution to the British "transport" of women to Australia and the factory work of women and girls, Bennett recounts wrongs, fights, disputes, and accomplishments of women across the globe. Topics range from birth control and women's suffrage to equality in education and sexuality. Bennett's performance is tireless; she pauses slightly when reading documents. With tones bordering on strident and angry, Bennett's enunciation is sporadically imprecise. Nonetheless, listeners are given an abundance of facts on the battle for women's equality.
