Buy a Coffee for nat (bookspoils) with /bookspoils If you're interested in buying Bad Girls Throughout History, just click on the image below to go through my link. To conclude: If you're looking for a cohesive, impactful, and quick read about powerful women whose actions have “been both persecuted and celebrated,” I'd wholeheartedly recommend you give this collection a go. So I'd like to share next some of the badass ladies I loved to love:īaker's life from showgirl, activist, and spy to mother of twelve adopted children left my head spinning in amazement. Needless to say, Bad Girls Throughout History captured a piece of my heart. Plus, I not only got enlightened on so many topics, but I had a lot of fun while doing so-which isn't really a common feeling for me with these kind of collections. Presenting a broad world of women coming from all eras, countries, backgrounds, races, and ethnicities, this collection left me wanting to educate myself more and more on these spectacular women. Like the author said best, “The short essays are meant to whet your appetite for exploring more on your own.” This was exactly the kind of book I’ve been looking for: short and concise essays on each historical figure, along with splendidly eye-catching illustrations. Thankfully, though, that was not the case with Bad Girls Throughout History. with little to no life sparkled throughout. This book is a noteworthy collection about 100 remarkable women who changed the world, featuring spectacular watercolours illustrations for each and everyone. I did go in a bit hesitant since I've tried my hand at similar collections to this one, such as Rejected Princesses by Jason Porath, but they untimely failed in capturing my interest because of the length of the essays that read like Wikipedia entries i.e. “Everything we’ve gained has been hard-won by a woman who was willing to be bad in the best sense of the word.”
