A History of Their Own: Women in Europe from Prehistory to the Present

Bonnie S. Anderson. HarperCollins Publishers, $20 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-06-091452-3

The authors ``ambitiously'' chronicle an evolutionary cultural misogyny regarding European women. ``Well-documented discussion of each era sparkles with legendary names and exploits (Eleanor of Aquitaine, Katherine von Bora, Joan of Arc), made more meaningful to modern readers by showing challenges overcome by historical women,'' praised PW. Illustrated. (May)
