A History of Women in 101 Objects: A walk through female history Hardcover

《101件物品中的女性歷史》（A History of Women in 101 Objects）

書籍簡介：
這是一段被忽視的歷史。這不是一部宏觀、權威且詳盡的世界史，而是一部更為細膩、私密且獨特的歷史。透過101件物品，展開一段迷人的旅程，探索女性豐富多元卻常被忽略的歷史。

打開這個珍奇櫃，你會發現一些備受推崇的物品（例如貝葉掛毯，甚至引發國家間的爭奪），以及一些平凡而家常的物品。有些物品（如16世紀的玻璃假陽具）代表女性的愉悅，有些（如拇指夾）則象徵女性的壓迫。這裡有被歷史讚頌的女性文物，也有被不公遺忘的女性故事；有女性反抗的見證，也有自我揭示的痕跡；有些物品令人振奮，有些令人好奇，有些（如含鐳巧克力）則根本是錯誤的構想。

透過這101件物品的多樣性與細微差別，作者Annabelle Hirsch創造了一部全新的歷史——充滿活力、出人意料、機智且始終發人深省。這部遲來的修正史揭示了癒合的股骨如何訴說文明，男性為何害怕帽針，並展示了過去始終如女性一樣複雜而迷人。

English Product Description

A History of Women in 101 Objects

Book Summary:
This is a neglected history. Not a sweeping, definitive, exhaustive history of the world but something quieter, more intimate and particular. A single journey, picked out in 101 objects, through the fascinating, too-often-overlooked, manifold histories of women.

Open up this cabinet of curiosities and you'll find objects that have been highly esteemed—even, like the Bayeux tapestry, fought over by nations—and others that are humble and domestic. Some (like a sixteenth-century glass dildo) are objects of female pleasure, some (a thumbscrew) of female subjugation. There are artefacts of women celebrated by history and of women unfairly forgotten by it; examples of female rebellion and of self-revelation; objects that are inspiring, curious or (like radium-laced chocolate) just fundamentally ill-conceived.

Through the variety and nuance in all these 101 objects, Annabelle Hirsch has created a new history—teeming, unexpected, witty and always illuminating. This overdue corrective reveals what a healed femur says about civilisation, what men have to fear from hat pins, and it shows that the past has always been as complicated and fascinating as the women that peopled it.
