Victoria Woodhull, Mary Wollstonecraft, Aimee Semple McPherson,
Edwina Mountbatten, Margaret Argyll and Chanel were all women who
dared. They had no time for what society said they could and
couldn't do and would see the world bend before they did. In 1872 a
mesmerising psychic named Victoria Woodhull shattered tradition by
running for the White House. Had she won the ensuing spectacle
would surely have rivalled that of our own era. Abhorring such
flamboyance, Mary Wollstonecraft inspired a revolution of thought
with her pen as she issued women's first manifesto - still to be
fulfilled. From Aimee Semple McPherson, the first female preacher
in America, to Coco Chanel, designer of an empire, these women
became the change they wanted to see in society. In Women Who
Dared, Jeremy Scott pays tribute to them all with wit, verve and
reverence.
