Women in Battle
150 years ago, women and men led very different lives. Women could not vote or make their own money. They had no control over their own bodies. The father would make a womans decisions until she was married. Then her husband would take over.
This changed when women began to organize. In this book writer Marta Breen and illustrator Jenny Jordahl tell the story about the women´s movements many dramatic battles.
Breen and Jordahl have cooperated about a number of book projects, amongst others The F word. 155 reasons to be a feminist a title for which they received the Norwegian Cultural Ministry non-fiction award in 2015, and the bestseller 60 Women you should have known (2016).
