Riassunto

Did you know that champagne saucers were modelled on the perfect breast of Madame de Pompadour ?
That Hugh Hefner paid £85,000 for the tomb adjoining that of Playboy`s first cover girl, Marilyn Monroe ?
That 17 people were crushed to death when Eva Peron`s coffin was paraded through the streets of
Buenos Aires ?
Or that Condoleezza Rice is a concert-level pianist and accomplished ice-skater?
With contributions from a range of celebrities talking about their own heroines, including Cherie Blair, P.D. James, and Jilly Cooper, this book is packed full of information about and quotes from hundreds of Bold, Bad and Beautiful women. They are from every walk of life, in history, from the pages of literature and alive today.
