The work is based on an impressive journalistic effort with some genuinely insightful parts and that merits at least 4 stars, but since God forbit a woman be more than the whims, vices and sadisms of men and because I don't thing there is a single instance of a woman in this book not being presented through the lenses of their relation to men, we will settle for 3 stars. And if that is the case, does the work manage to revisit and enhance history? Do we understand more about this hidden figure? Her likes and dislikes, her dreams, her views on life and the world around us? Not really, no. However, is it reasonable to expect such new perspectives when the initial information concerning said answers was not preserved? Probably not really, no. Maybe a presumptive fictional work could better deliver that, in lieu of being the proverbial winner that (re)writes history.
