Summary
Hannah Jewell: 100 badass women in history
When you hear or read something about the small number of women recorded in history, it's hard not to ask yourself: why do they all look so restrained and proper? It is true that historians (mostly men) persistently try to smooth over the real details from their lives or most often leave out the women who disturbed the idea of an exemplary woman. That's why Jewell presents you with true stories about incredible women you've probably never heard of - and should have. About women who were too brave, brilliant, unconventional, politically aware and too poor to receive recognition from their contemporaries, small souls. About women who were considered too badass for their time, too loud to be recognized, too bold to be paid for their work and sometimes too daring to be allowed to live.
