Hedvig Charlotta Nordenflycht, Olympe de Gouges och Mary Wollstonecraft är tre kvinnokämpar från 1700-talet som tog striden för alla kvinnors rättigheter. Med hjälp av dessa tre modiga kvinnor berättar Anna Laestadius Larsson om tusen år av bortglömd historia. Om förebilderna som inspirerat till förändring.

We humans have an extraordinary capacity for compassion—much of it in response to the atrocities we inflict on the planet, its animals, and each other. The popular explanation for this paradox is that we evolved as carnivorous “killer apes,” who gradually curbed our lust for violence (with frequent exceptions) by implementing humane social norms. This explanation is so well worn, especially in the American psyche, that it epitomizes cliché. So, we could be forgiven for believing it, when nearly every word is fiction.
