I'm doing a paper for my school, my subjects is about how women were forgotten in history. Like women that invented very important things like hedy lamarr and ton of other women or even just how things women in general were forgotten, like hunter gatherer (women were also hunter) or how women die more often in car crash, not because they drive worse but because the airbag was tested on a typical male body and not a female one which makes the airbag more deadly to females than males.
ton of facts like this ! i already have books about this subjects but i am asking here to find if there's some i didnt know about !

Invisible women by Caroline Criado Perez is the big one you’ll see a lot. And it’s very good!
Wanderers by Keri Andrews – it’s about women who have walked throughout history (like hiking) and often don’t get discussed. It might not fit your theme but it’s a good book anyway!
I have a book called The Woman’s History of The World by Rosalind Miles. I never finished it but it’s basically about how men dominated history because they wrote history.
“The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” by Rebecca Skloot is about “HeLa” cells, which have been used in medicine development for decades, and the woman they were taken from and used without her knowledge or consent, so maybe that?
{{Normal Women by Philippa Gregory}}
But it mostly sounds like you want Invisible Women.
