Title: Great idea, but...
Review: The title of this book excites me so much. Such a book needs to be written. My own 'Bold in Her Breeches: Women Pirates across the ages' didn't really tackle the politics enough, I now feel. What it did do was give women histories a context, calmly.Unfortunately Klansman's book comes across as heated. It needed to be coherent and focused. And it is, in a way, a product of 1970s feminism. But there are some great ideas in there struggling to come out. I'd like to see a rewrite.
