What Would Boudicca Do? E. Foley and B. Coates with Donna Freed

While we don't expect or want you to burn London to the ground every time someone pisses you off, but bad-ass Boudicca's method of dealing with adversity does have a certain appeal. The authors were inspired to find (only) 50 fantastic women throughout history and use them as exemplars for 'everyday problems solved by history's most remarkable women.' The delightful book is designed to tease rather than preach and gives snippets of these amazing women's achievements, some good, some bad, some ugly but all bad-ass and remarkable.

The graphic illustrations are by Bijou Karman. There are some of the usual suspects: Frida Kahlo, Mary Wollstencraft, Rosa Parks but then there are the renegades you never knew: Grace Hopper, Enheduanna, Akiko Yosano….
