Women of Ideas (And What Men Have Done to Them: From Aphra Behn to Adrienne Rich) - Spender Dale

First published in 1982, this is a classic reference work and, from beginning to end, a provocative and stimulating read. With characteristic energy, humour and learning, Dale Spender has dug into the hidden past and uncovered shining examples of women's creativity and intellectual prowess which had been suppressed or stolen by men.
