“Woman and Power in History, first published in 1974, promises ‘a comprehensive view of the influence, social position, economic status and cultural influence of women throughout the ages’.” (History Today).
“Every so often, important books come into print so quietly that they are not so much published as they are materialised. Then they lie around waiting to be discovered. … Woman and Power in History is that kind of book. … Mr. De Riencourt, a distinguished French historian, who has written books about Tibet, China, India and America, … drifts through history and even pre-history, applying the techniques of biology, philosophy and … from his immense research, describes and analyses categories of femininity: the virago, the witch, the reformed woman, the mediaeval lady.” (New York Times).
