Gynocracy Murphy Powell

What is Gynocracy? Technically, it is a government run by women. But three time author, Darryl Murphy, a pioneer of the literary genre "The History You Didn't Learn In School," weaves together the collective stories of unsung women, from all time periods and of all colors and creeds, who have had a resounding impact, both good and bad, on the world we live in. Inside the pages of this book you will meet women like the adventurer, Barbara Hillary, who explored the North Pole at the age of 75 and the South Pole at 79, and talented Nineteenth Century women artists known as the "Women Impressionists." Meet the woman who revolutionized the marketing industry by creating the Tupperware Party. Learn why Martha Washington who, when widowed by her first husband at age 25, was considered the best "catch" in Colonial America. Find out what really made Catherine the Great, well, great! Meet the "Six Triple Eights," the only all Black female unit to serve in the European war zone during World War II and many more truly unique women who, until now, lived on history's back pages. Gynocracy is Darryl Murphy's third history book. His other titles are Three Blind Mice and Tropospheric Politics.
