Ok this book is similar in approach to In
Praise of Difficult Women by Karen Karbo which I loved so much I put it
into My
Top 20 Books
But it is also different. The writing is snarky and humorous. The authors have also written about over 20
women I had never heard of. They have
taken 50 women and related their lives to contemporary issues eg Boudicca and
Sticking Up For Yourself, Hypatia and Being a Geek and Proud.
If you need a little boost
to be more of a badass, this book will help and make you laugh at the same
time. As someone who has been called
Boadicea (some years ago now) I particularly enjoyed the chapter on her –now called
Boudicca – she certainly took no prisoners.
I think I need to know more about Boadicea/Boudicca.
