Lulu/ Lucien reviewed The trouble with women by Jacky Fleming
Sarcasm against machismo, we need it
3 stars
With humor, "The trouble with women" is an illustrated book, presenting small cartoon vignettes about women's erased history, why so few have been studied about, whether they had been artists, scientists etc. I didn't learn anything new, apart for a couple names, but it's a good, quick, under one hour of fast paced reading and laughing at the texts and images, full of humor and sarcasm.
This all is about misogyny, how men viewed and then attempted to erase women, block their access to education, locking into a domestic life, and the like. But, since the topic would otherwise be heavy, these texts and cartoons make them much lighter, to the point of laughing at the absurdities that all these men had created in the erasure of women.
