ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Herstory

Herstory is actually a term used to talk about women's history. You know how you learn about important people and events in history? Well, most of the time, those stories are about men. Herstory helps us learn about the important women in history and the things they did. It's like a book with stories about awesome women like Rosa Parks who helped with the civil rights movement or Marie Curie who was a scientist and discovered radium. By learning about these women, we can understand how they helped to make the world a better place for both boys and girls.
