“Uncredited by Allison Tyra is an amazing compendium of stories about hundreds of women - left out, ignored, misnamed, erased, mansplained, reframed and uncredited (to name just a few). As a historian of women for over a half century, I was blown away and somewhat ashamed that I had never heard of or read about at least 2/3 of these remarkable actors. Tyra, the creator and manager of Infinite Women, an ever-expanding encyclopedia of women, has given us an extraordinarily documented, theorized, and passionate account of the hows, whens and whys women have been hidden from history…film, medicine, science…you name it. A must!”

– Barbara Winslow, Professor Emerita, Women and Gender Studies Brooklyn College US

“For centuries, women’s contributions to every field of human discovery have been downplayed, underappreciated, erased, or outright stolen. Allison Tyra’s encyclopedic compendium of groundbreaking accomplishments by women who have been unfairly omitted from our shared history fundamentally shifts the balance when it comes to accurately attributing credit where credit is due. Thoroughly researched and written in accessible, engaging prose, Uncredited is an invaluable resource for historians, educators, and anyone seeking a more accurate understanding of the past.”

– Lorissa Rinehart, Author of First to the Front, The Untold Story of Dickey Chapelle, Trailblazing Female War Correspondent

“Uncredited illustrates the breadth and depth of women’s accomplishments throughout history, but then clearly answers the question ‘Why haven’t I heard of these women before?’ It is essential reference material for anyone who might have doubted women’s accomplishments or assumed that these were only unacknowledged a few times.”

– Kimberly Hess, author of A Lesser Mortal: The Unexpected Life of Sarah B. Cochran

“Uncredited sets the record straight by celebrating the all-too-little known and unheralded accomplishments of women, and makes painfully clear the cost we all pay for having learned a woefully lopsided version of history.”

– Dana Rubin, author of Speaking While Female: 75 Extraordinary Speeches by American Women

“Giving credit where it is long overdue, Allison Tyra puts stories of hundreds of women in their proper place, while pointing out the structural blocks that have kept their accomplishments — around the world and through the centuries — from being rightly celebrated.”

– Carrie Gibson, author of El Norte: The Epic and Forgotten Story of Hispanic North America

"Allison Tyra’s Uncredited is a fascinating examination of how women have long been denied credit for their own work. This book is stunning in its scope, with stories from ancient Greece to the present, and tales of women’s struggles all over the world to get what they deserve. By looking at everything from whose records are seen as worth preserving to double standards to assumptions that wives are just extensions of husbands, Tyra reveals all the ways women have been made invisible, whether by being seen as not believable, unintelligent, untalented, or just too weak to hack it. But you’ll also get a chance to hear the incredible stories of female pirates, empresses, athletes, warriors, scientists, revolutionaries, and entertainers while you’re at it. This book will inspire you – and make you mad enough – to make sure that the women of the past, present, and future get the recognition they deserve for their achievements!"

– Sarah Horowitz, author of The Red Widow

“Can a book be depressing and uplifting at the same time? As hunters and warriors, as writers, artists, rocket scientists, spies, pirates, sports heroes, explorers, physicians, inventors, monarchs--you name it--women have always been the equals of men, argues Allison Tyra. And they have almost always been overlooked.
In Uncredited, Tyra returns hundreds of such women to the records of history and proves how bias and misogyny have long striven to erase their accomplishments.
Eye-opening and provocative, Uncredited belongs in every library. Every girl should have the chance to read it, to see what her future could bring if she follows her heart, instead of doing what she's told.”

– Nancy Marie Brown, author of The Far Traveler: Voyages of a Viking Woman
