Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World by Pénélope Bagieu

4.0

This was an accessible introduction to a few women in history - some well-known, some not. On the whole I thought this was inspiring, especially since there were lots of women profiled who are not often cited in feminist history (especially if they're outside of Western culture). The art makes it a breeze to go through and I would recommend this to anyone looking to expand their historical knowledge of powerful women.

The one reservation I had about the book was the inclusion of a band that accidentally got famous - the story was all about their dad pressuring them to perform, then dying, then being ridiculed and it really didn't fit with the rest of the collection.
