This book was a fascinating look into the hundreds of women who have not received the proper or any credit for their accomplishments. The most interesting segments of the book were the ones that grouped women by how their contemporary males took credit or undermined their work. In some chapters there were also great connections made to current struggles that women still face in different sectors both due the repercussions of historic treatment and advances made in technology such as algorithms and AI that are trained to be biased against women. The middle of the book did drag in sections that were centered on accomplishments grouped by sector and felt a bit more list list like unlike the deeper dives into motivation and method found in other chapters.

A book about the history of invisible women brought to light? Yes, please. Allison Tyra's book is a brilliant collection of essays that brings the often-overlooked nature of women's history across decades and fields into the public eye. With a wealth of remarkable sources and stories of outstanding women, Tyra captivated me to the extent that I struggled to put the book down (which is definitely what you want) for university work.

Her matter-of-fact writing and evident passion allow women's history to shine through the pages. She gives equal attention to each chapter, presenting a history viewed on equal grounds rather than one field being displayed with greater prejudice; prejudice knows no bounds, only the limitations of those documenting history.

What’s more, I explored many of the sources from various chapters and found them as remarkable as Tyra, deserving as much attention and admiration.
Overall, Uncredited: Women's Overlooked, Misattributed, and Stolen Work, is an exceptional collection that serves not only as a testament to women's history but also as both a memorial and recognition of the women obscured by history. However, thanks to Tyra and the writers she acknowledged, they are not forgotten. I highly recommend this to everyone.
Thank you, NetGalley and Rising Action Publishing, for sending me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

First of all, Many thanks to Netgalley for the ARC granted to me. This is the kind of book that must be read by everyone. I've always thought I would like this one just from looking at the title, but it went better than expected! A lot of women had given contribuiton to several leves and areas in Society and were hidden by the male system. Altough it is way late and minimum, it works as a memorial and acknowçedgment to each of them from their work. Well Done!

This book felt extremely important in current times. It was long, but it never felt overwhelming. I was over enraged but never bored. I read a lot of women’s history so I didn’t expect to learn stories that I hadn’t heard before but I did!

"Uncredited" is both a triumph and a gut punch - a meticulously researched compendium that uncovers the staggering breadth of women's achievements across history, and exposes how systematically those accomplishments have been erased, stolen, or diminished. From scientists to artists, warriors to inventors, Allison Tyra weaves together over 600 stories that will have you alternating between inspiration and outrage. The clever organization into thematic chapters makes this substantial work surprisingly digestible, perfect for both deep dives and quick reads.

While the sheer volume of information can feel overwhelming at times, that's rather the point - the number of overlooked women and their contributions is meant to stagger us. This isn't just a collection of "fun facts" about women in history; it's a damning indictment of how historical narratives have been shaped to exclude half of humanity. For anyone who has ever wondered "where were all the women?" in their history books, here's your answer: they were here all along, just uncredited.

Thank you to NetGalley and Rising Action Publishing for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This enlightening history of women's erasure is as uplifting as it is enraging. Covering stories from hundreds of women in over 90 chapters, this is a necessarily long read. That said, the information is broken down cleverly by categories with each chapter being a bite sized summary of how women and their accomplishments have been removed from popular history. This makes it a perfect read for when you only have a few minutes between work, home and family (ironically, a core issue for many of these brilliant women), or when you want to spend an entire afternoon stoking your feminist rage. I could talk all day about all the amazing history I learned from this book, but I will save the fun for future readers. Just know, if dissing Christopher Columbus as a "genocidal A#&hole who couldn't even find India" is your jam, pick this book up immediately.

Thank you to NetGalley for receiving an E-Arc copy.

Do you want to be annoyed? Sad? Angry (Throw the book across the room levels of angry)? If the answer is no, read this book. If the answer is yes, also read this book.

This is an amazing collection of amazing women throughout history and across the globe. While some of the women are well known (Marie Curie etc.) many more are unknown, and are just jumping of the page to finally be acknowledged.

There are countless great role models for girls in here, but there are also a few stand out guys, who supported their wives, daughters and colleagues in their endeavors
