Who Cooked the Last Supper? overturns the phallusy of history and gives voice to the untold history of the world: the contributions of millions of unsung women.

Men dominate history because men write history. There have been many heroes, but no heroines. Here, in Who Cooked the Last Supper?, is the history you never learned - but should have! Without politics or polemics, this brilliant and witty book overturns centuries of preconceptions to restore women to their rightful place at the center of culture, revolution, empire, war, and peace. Spiced with tales of individual women who have shaped civilization, celebrating the work and lives of women around the world, and distinguished by a wealth of research, Who Cooked the Last Supper? redefines our concept of historical reality.

I didn't really have any expectations for this book one way or the other, but I didn't love it. I can't even really put my finger on it - maybe it was the narrator's tone? I enjoyed hearing about prehistoric religions and cultures focused around femininity and it's really eye-opening to zoom out and look at how women have strategically and subtly been removed from places of power over time.

I understand providing an accurate depiction of oppression, but I would warn any who are looking to read this book that there are very graphic depictions of female genital mutilation and rape (something that I wish I would have known going into it).

Overall I'm glad I read it but I'm still on the fence on whether I'd recommend.

I wanted to like it more...

I was really excited about this read, as a super-feminist myself. But I feel like the author frequently tries to undercut patriarchy by suggesting women are superior and her misses always lack the acknowledgment of the obvious counter point. 3 stars for the history I learned, but not 5 because of the fallacies.

The Introduction to this book lacked cohesiveness so much that I nearly stopped reading. I’m glad I decided to read it despite the rocky start though because I found it poignant, fascinating, informative and enlightening. I’m giving it four stars because I think the information could have been organized a bit better and the bits about imperialism and racial inequality (as it relates to feminism) were glossed too quickly. Overall though, it was an interesting read.

Skip the introduction but the rest is worth the read
