` Vital reading` STYLIST` Because 100 Nasty Women is so easy to read & witty, I didn`t expect it to be the life changing, important book that I`m discovering it to be` PHILIPPA PERRY` Hooting with laughter

When you learn about (the very few) women in history, it`s hard not to wonder: why do they seem so prim & 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 & Washington Post pop culture host Hannah Jewell has got you covered. In 100 Nasty Women of History, Hannah will spill the tea on such incredible women as: 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 Bl&, who built her own plane & flew it; Rani Chennamma, who was a (literal) queen & 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.
