About this audiobook

You may think you know the stories behind the world's most well-known, groundbreaking achievements, but To Her Credit is here to make you reevaluate our collective story. This book celebrates the stories of women, from ancient times until the 1990s, whose contributions have been overwritten and accredited to men. The pattern of female achievements being stolen, overwritten, or straight-up ignored is as old as time. Authors Kaitlin Culmo and Emily McDermott reclaim the work of these heroines and offer reminders of what we lose when we don't question history as it has been written. - We're often told that Cervantes "invented fiction" with the novel Don Quixote in seventeenth-century Europe, but what about Lady Murasaki's The Tale of Genji in eleventh-century Japan? - Elvis Presley is considered "The King" and the inventor of rock and roll music. But what about Sister Rosetta Tharpe, who was the first to engineer the rock and roll sound, or Big Mama Thornton, for whom the song "Hound Dog" was explicitly written? It's time to talk about the thousands of years' worth of art, inventions, innovations, and world-changing achievements made by women that have been ascribed to men.
