Gender, Canon and Literary History The Changing Place of Nineteenth-Century German Women Writers
It has been shown that the total number of women who published in German in the 18th and 19th centuries was approximately 3,500, but even by 1918 only a few of them were known.

The Invisible Gorilla: And Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us (Audiobook, MP3)

Presented almost as a response to Malcolm Gladwell's blink, the books pay special attention to "the illusion of knowledge"
