Product Description
Well-behaved women don''t make history: difficult women do.
''This is the antidote to saccharine you-go-girl fluff. Effortlessly erudite and funny'' Caroline Criado-Perez
Strikers in saris. Bomb-throwing suffragettes. The pioneer of the refuge movement who became a men''s rights activist.
Forget feel-good heroines: meet the feminist trailblazers who have been airbrushed from history for being ''difficult'' - and discover how they made a difference.
Here are their stories in all their shocking, funny and unvarnished glory.
** Shortlisted in the 2020 Parliamentary Book Awards **
''All the history you need to understand why you''re so furious, angry and still hopeful about being a woman now. A book that is part intellectual weapon in your handbag, part cocktail with a friend'' Caitlin Moran
''Compulsive, rigorous, unforgettable, hilarious and devastating'' Hadley Freeman
''A great manifesto for all those women who have never been very good at being well-behaved.'' Mary Beard
''Difficult Women is full of vivid detail, jam-packed with research and fizzing with provocation''Sunday Times
