Rebel women : the renegades, viragos and heroines who changed the world - from the French Revolution to today
Miles, Rosalind2020
Books
It is time for a new women's history - for more famous, infamous and little known rebels. We begin with the French Revolution when women took on the Fraternite of man, then it's off to America to round up the rebels fighting side by side for freedom with their men, before heading back to Britain to witness the courage of the suffragettes. From Australia to South America, from India to China and from many other countries, we track women who - often at a very high cost to themselves - have stood up to age-old cruelties and injustices. Recording the important milestones in the long march of women towards equality through a colourful pageant of astonishing women, we chart the birth of modern womanhood. Women in sport, women in business, women in religion, women in politics and women in power - all female life is there. We end in the present day thrilled with what women have done - and can and will do.
