| book description |
The bestselling history of Britain, told through twenty-one women whose lives enthral and beguile, intrigue and inspire ‘Celebrates the defiant spirit of Britain’s groundbreaking heroines… Entertaining.’ Daily Mail Britain has traditionally been defined by its conflicts, its conquests, its men and its monarchs. It’s high time that it was defined by its women. In this unique history, Jenni Murray tells the stories of twenty-one women who made history. From famous queens to unrecognised visionaries, great artists to trailblazing politicians, Jenni Murray reveals how these pioneers pushed boundaries and revolutionised our world. This is the history of Britain as you’ve never seen it before, through the lives of women who refused to succumb to the established laws of society, whose lives embodied hope and change, and who still have the power to inspire us today. Join Aphra Behn as she conquers the Restoration stage, giving women a voice in British theatre. Discover how Elizabeth Garrett Anderson took on the medical establishment to become Britain's first female doctor. Find out how Emmeline Pankhurst led the charge for women's suffrage. Learn how Mary Quant's radical designs electrified 1960s Britain.  ‘A rare gift.’ Gloria Steinem ‘Ideal to press into the hands of young women studying politics and history.’ Independent
