To Her Credit: Historic Achievements – And the Women Who Actually Made Them Happen

August 10, 2023

This is a new book by Kaitlin Culmo and Emily McDermott with wonderfully colorful illustrations by Kezia Gabriella. To Her Credit celebrates the stories of women, from ancient times until the 1990s, whose contributions have been overwritten and, far too often, accredited to men. We’re often told that Cervantes “invented fiction” with the novel Don Quixote in 17th century Europe, but what about Lady Murasaki’s The Tale of Genji in 11th-century Japan? Elvis Presley is widely considered as “The King” and–for all intents and purposes–the inventor of rock and roll music. But what about Sister Rosetta Tharpe, who was the first to engineer the rock and roll sound and for whom the song “Hound Dog” was explicitly written?
