The Color of Time: Women in History: 1850-1960

"New York Times bestselling historian Dan Jones and the brilliant artist Marina Amaral have combined their talents to create an illuminating visual history of women around the world. Dan Jones and Marina Amaral, the acclaimed team behind The Color of Time: A New History of the World, combine their talents once 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. This book includes photographs of Queen Victoria, Edith Cavell, Josephine Baker, Mildred Burke, Eva Perâon, 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, pilots, nurses, and soldiers. With a combination of vivid pictures and stirring prose, The Color of Time: Women in History brings this era to life from the vantage point of the women who lived it."
