Vci – Djiny en ve stovce pedmt Hirsch Annabelle (2026)

Women played a far more active and varied role in history than we tend to think. Annabelle Hirsch tells the story of women through objects that belonged to them or were intended for them. One hundred objects represent social norms and myths, while also symbolising womens emancipation. The book explores curious objects such as a sixteenth-century glass dildo and a metal corset, as well as everyday things including a typewriter and a bicycle. These objects tell the stories of unknown women, artists, intellectuals and contemporary celebrities, from courtesans and enslaved women to Hannah Arendt and Kim Kardashian. The short stories of individual objects cast new light on womens role in history and show that women were never outside history; they simply did not receive the attention they deserved. This book is in Czech.
