'Vital reading' STYLIST 'Because 100 Nasty Women is so easy to read
and witty, I didn't expect it to be the life changing, important
book that I'm discovering it to be' PHILIPPA PERRY * * * * * *
These are the women who were deemed too nasty for their times. When
you learn about (the very few) women in history, it's hard not to
wonder: why do they seem so prim and proper? The truth is, (mostly
male) historians keep glossing over the real details, or leaving
out the women who threatened their idea of what a woman should be
like. Fake news! But fret not. Former Buzzfeed senior writer and
Washington Post pop culture host Hannah Jewell has got you covered.
In 100 Nasty Women of History, Hannah will give you the brief on,
among others: Aethelflaed, who fought off Vikings at her wedding;
Ching Shih, a swashbuckling pirate known as 'The Terror of South
China'; Ida B. Wells-Barnett, who fought racism with the point of
her pen; Lilian Bland, who built her own plane and flew it; Rani
Chennamma, who was a (literal) queen and went to war with the
British; Nell Gwynn, one of the greatest hos in English history;
Coccinelle, the first known trans woman to be legally married in
France; Noor Inayat Khan, who may have literally punched Nazis. And
that's just eight of them. So if you think that Nasty Women are a
new thing, think again. They've always been around - you just
haven't always heard of them. It's time to get learning. These are
the 100 Nasty Women of History who gave zero f*cks whatsoever.
These are the 100 Nasty Women of History whom everyone needs to
know about, right now. 'A fun, hilarious read that will make a
fantastic addition to your feminist library and historical
knowledge' ANN SHEN, author of Bad Girls Throughout History
