Su questo libro

Recensione

SUCH a great book. (Dawn O'Porter)

Funny, readable, and FASCINATING: a reminder that badass bitches come in all shapes and outfits. I think even Boudicca would take a break from slaying Romans to get inspired by it. (Sara Pascoe)

What a boost this book is: if these amazing women did it, we certainly can. I might start driving a roller around Peckham with a pet cheetah like Josephine Baker! (Olivia Colman)

Brilliant... You should buy this book, it's badass. (Rebecca Humphries Vogue)

Such a joy! A wonderful book... accessible, fun and irreverent... hopefully there's a volume 2 on the way. (Cerys Matthews)

I loved this book's irreverence. It sticks two fingers up to the idea of meek women and will introduce readers to some women they had no idea were quite so badass. (Jess Phillips MP)

This charming and inspiring book is part history lesson and part call to arms. Whatever's causing you grief, rest assured that a remarkable woman of the past has gone through it first and come out on the other side. Whether it's Mae West on being body positive, Agatha Christie on getting over heartbreak or Mrs Beeton on beating impostor syndrome, there are life lessons a'plenty here. (Red BOOKS OF THE YEAR)

A clever collection of brief biographies of impressive women... Fun, cheeky, and perfect for the reader who considers herself a "nasty woman." (Booklist)
