What Would Boudicca Do?: Everyday Problems Solved by History's Most Remarkable Women by Elizabeth Foley

3.0

This book covers 50 woman, many of which I hadn't heard of before which was great and others that are down in history as some of the greats. While I loved reading these women's stories and learning about their backgrounds which covered different times, cultures and contexts (and not just the 'Good girls', but the controversial too, with some much more than others which should have been called more than 'less than perfect' ), the relation to modern day women was very 'one size fits all' and only from the perspective of a privileged middle class woman, which I feel in some ways undermined the true git of the woman being championed in the book.
