Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World
by Pénélope Bagieu
Very enjoyable graphic novel (or comic book!) about the lives of maybe about 30 women who led or are leading extraordinary lives. Their life stories are told succinctly - and inevitably begin with "no one believed she could do anything because she was a woman" - but you really get a sense of their accomplishments. And it's not just women you would immediately assume would be in a book like this. Many are quite obscure (at least to me). Their stories were tremendously interesting and even with the women I knew something about (Josephine Baker, Temple Grandin, Peggy Guggenheim and Nellie Bly among them), I expanded my knowledge. A fun, illuminating read.
