The Big She-Bang

For centuries, history has been "written about a bunch of men by a bunch of men." In The Big SHE-Bang, Marisa Acocella challenges our understanding of humanity's past in this gloriously vibrant, clever and hilarious alternate herstory of the world, revealing the true leaders, makers, and doers who have been omitted - the women - at last claim their place. Filled with stunning color graphic images, this uncompromising and hilarious book opens with a visitation: The Divine Mother appears in Acocella's studio and takes her on an epic feminist journey that begins at the big SHE-bang. The rest, as they say, is herstsory.
