Summary

Every day women are reinventing what it means to be female in cultures where power, privilege or basic freedoms are all too often equated with being male. One of the most tenacious campaigners of her generation, Caroline Criado-Perez introduces us to these pioneering women.

We meet the first woman to cross the Antarctic alone; a female fighter pilot in Afghanistan; a Chilean revolutionary turned politician; and the Iranian journalist who dared to uncover her hair.

Could be triggering for HSP

The book is an amazing work, no doubt about it. But the stories are highly likely to be triggering for Highly Sensitive Persons.

Harrowing but inspiring

This book made me feel good and hopeful about being female, but also devastated by what some women have to go through just because they are women.

Inspirational, empowering and a real eye opener. It tells the stories of great women who could not live without freedom. How their courage and persistence opened the way for other women. For all of us. I loved it.

Brilliant story telling

I found myself utterly immersed into these women's stories on my daily commute of an hour each way- just right to complete a chapter or so. For me, it was a very uplifting book as each chapter would finish with the achievement of each protagonist after a period of intense challenge and personal loss. From trekking across the Antarctic, to campaigning for rape kits to be tested to give 11k victims justice in one US law enforcement
department alone, to the fight for education and the right to not be abused- this weaves a fascinating, inspiring tapestry of women as fighters and leaders the world over.
