Critic Reviews

SUCH a great book.

Dawn O'Porter
Critic Reviews

Funny, readable, and FASCINATING: a reminder that badass bitches come in all shapes and outfits. I think even Boudicca would take a break from slaying Romans to get inspired by it.

Critic Reviews

What a boost this book is: if these amazing women did it, we certainly can. I might start driving a roller around Peckham with a pet cheetah like Josephine Baker!

Brilliant ... You should buy this book, it’s badass.

Critic Reviews

I loved this book's irreverence. It sticks two fingers up to the idea of meek women and will introduce readers to some women they had no idea were quite so badass.

Such a joy! A wonderful book ... Accessible, fun and irreverent ... Hopefully there's a volume 2 on the way.
