    About this ebook

    History can hardly be complete without talking about the role
    women played in forming the history of the world. They
    changed societies and beliefs, being the reason why empires
    toppled and rose to glory. There is hardly enough reason to
    believe that women were insignificant in a society because no
    matter how many wars men fought and the ways in which
    they built empires, women often played an extremely important
    part in many wars and the building of many civilizations.
     
    Women were highly regarded in many ancient cultures. The
    history of woman describes their lives from early times to now.
    Reflecting the manner in which they lived and how they were
    treated. We will also shed light on women who were
    considered luminaries of their times and talk about the changes
    they brought in the society.
     
    This book describes the role of women and their significance in
    different eras and regions of the world. The place they held in
    various cultures and how they influenced the growth or
    downfall of different civilizations and empires. For most of the
    world's history, it was written primarily by men and it usually
    included an account of the activities of men in war, politics and
    diplomacy. Even traders were mainly men and women usually
    belonged in the background and hardly history did not account
    a lot of their works.
     
    With the help of this book, you will be able to understand the
    significance of woman in history and how they led their lives in
    the past. Since history usually accounts for events that held
    great value, the presence of women in history is close to
    insignificant because they were usually seen in a sex-stereotyped
    form as wives, mothers, daughters and mistresses.
