"If we were to judge by history books, it would be easy to think that men were pretty much the only people who mattered in history, at least, the ones worth remembering. That isn't true, of course, but that's the story we're accustomed to hearing about in the past: one where the presence of men is taken as a given, and the presence of women is exceptional."

ABOUT THE PROJECT
"Reading Between the Lines" endeavors to delve into women's experiences across various facets of life in the 18th century, recognizing their humanity and acknowledging their contributions, both positive and negative, without romanticizing or overlooking the complexities. By adopting a female gaze, the project aims to present a holistic view of history, encompassing all dimensions and moral nuances.
