'Extraordinary' Woman&Home A Roaring Girl was loud when she
should be quiet, disruptive when she should be submissive, sexual
when she should be pure, 'masculine' when she should be 'feminine'.
Meet the unsung heroines of British history who refused to play by
the rules. Roaring Girls tells the game-changing life stories of
eight formidable women whose grit, determination and radical
unconventionality saw them defy the odds to forge their own paths.
From the notorious cross-dressing thief Mary Frith in the
seventeenth century to rebel slave Mary Prince and adventurer,
industrialist and LGBT trailblazer Anne Lister in the nineteenth,
these diverse characters redefined what a woman could be and what
she could do in pre-twentieth-century Britain. Bold, inspiring and
powerfully written, Roaring Girls tells the electrifying histories
of women who, despite every effort to suppress them, dared to be
extraordinary.
