What Would Boudicca Do?: Everyday Problems Solved by History's Most Remarkable Women by Elizabeth Foley
2.0
Mine true opinion about this book: I really don't know.
I hoped for more tips and tricks and more history on the Historic women in this book.
Instead I got a book filled with poprefrences and quickly written chapters of them with a long ass introduction and only a small portion of history -that sometimes wasn't even accurate!-, showed me, in mine own mind, that the writers just used the women to cover their opinions.
Although this is a book to make females more sure and trying to show them how to make their own decisions, it felt sometimes if the writers where attacking females who made choices that not fit in the writers alley. Like moon cupping, social media use.
It was also more focused on women who works in an office and not other jobs.
I quickly lost focus and saw sometimes no connection with "everyday problems"
And sometimes the story was so drawn away from the point that I sometimes didn't even know what the problem was tbh.
All with all I gave this book only 2 stars
