This is a seminal three-volume work, that covers the history of women throughout the world, from earliest times to the present. Marilyn French, internationally bestselling author of The Women's Room, has spent over two decades with a team of researchers and historians examining women's roles and activities in various civilizations and societies throughout the ages. The first volume covers women's roles from earliest recorded history to the Dark Ages. Fascinating and thought provoking, this new history of women from one of feminism's leading voices is an important document for our times.

"As a reference work it's invaluable: the bibliographies alone are worth the price. And as a warning about the appalling extremes of human behaviour and male weirdness, it's indispensable... Women who read this book will do so with horror and growing anger... whatever you think of French's conclusions, the issues she raises cannot be ignored. Women, it seems, are not a footnote after all: they are the necessary centre around which the wheel of power revolves; or, seen another way, they are the broad base of the triangle that sustains a few oligarchs at the top. No history you will read, post-French, will ever look the same again" Margaret Atwood, The Times, 21 August 2004
