What I Think Happened
What I Think Happened, the debut book by comedian Evany
Rosen, is really two books: a savvy, no-holds-barred romp through
the history of the western world, and a personal "femmoir" by a
self-described "failed academic" who recasts historiography from
a feminist perspective―albeit an underqualified and overconfident
one.
, the debut book by comedian Evany

the history of the western world, and a personal "femmoir" by a
self-described "failed academic" who recasts historiography from
a feminist perspective―albeit an underqualified and overconfident
one.
In these wide-ranging comic essays, Rosen explores numerous
historical events and personalities that have had a personal
impact on her as she attempts to understand why they've been the
object of such fascination, from her unnatural obsession with
Napoleon, to her misguided understanding of the Royal Family, to
her intrigue over America's dumpiest presidents. Rosen's approach
to history is to make it personal, which any good historian will
tell you is exactly what not to do; but in so doing, and with
whimsy and irreverence, she rescues history from the dusty
confines of "intellectually aggressive" men and makes it fun
again.
