LONDON -- Hark back to history lessons during your school days, and the chances are you'll have learned about a lot of important men. But, what about the women who've played their part in history?
British illustrator Jacky Fleming is exploring the remarkable women left out of the history books, and has released a witty book of sarcastic cartoons about women in history.
The book pokes fun at some of our greatest thinkers' baffling theories about women, including Charles Darwin's belief that women had smaller brains than men, and therefore would never achieve anything of importance; and John Ruskin's belief that a woman's tiny intellect should be used in "praise" rather than invention or creation.
Fleming -- a graduate of the Chelsea School of Art and Leeds University -- penned her book The Trouble With Women after a simple Google search asking "Can women be geniuses?" threw up a plethora of misogynist and outdated responses.
