It&#8217;s a wonderful series, and beautifully illustrated. Here&#8217;s her press release in full:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On October 22, feminist writer Renee Gerlich finished publishing her seven volume\u00a0<em>Brief, Complete Herstory<\/em>\u00a0series, a female centred, colour illustrated history of the world from the Big Bang to the present day. If you have ever wanted a succinct, digestible overview of history, here it is: this set of books offers a continuous narrative from\u00a0<em>Mother Earth and Sea<\/em>, which explores the origins of life, the evolution of early humans (and also functions as a very useful biology primer) &#8211; to\u00a0<em>Neoliberalism,\u00a0<\/em>which clearly explains this complex topic and the impact of globalisation and corporatisation on women.<\/p>\n<p>In between these two books,<em>\u00a0<\/em>Book 2,\u00a0<em>Matriarchy and the Creation of Patriarchy,\u00a0<\/em>explores matriarchal cultures from all around the world and summarises Gerda Lerner&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Creation of Patriarchy &#8211;<\/em>\u00a0and book 3,\u00a0<em>God,\u00a0<\/em>opens with discussion of the woman-centred cultures of Old Europe and ends with the Crusades (we meet some fascinating medieval feminists along the way!). Books 4 and 5 (<em>Capitalism\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>Empire)\u00a0<\/em>look at the industrial revolution and the work of women who resisted slavery, capitalism and patriarchy &#8211; from women on slave ships, to Harriet Tubman, Buffalo Calf Road Woman, the suffragists, Emma Goldman, Rosa Luxemburg and more. Book 6 examines women&#8217;s responses to nineteenth and twentieth century independence movements around the world, and each book features a bibliography to treasure on its own!<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about these books, and to support this labour of love, please visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/dragoncloudpress.com\/\">dragoncloudpress.com<\/a>.
