A review by angel_kiiss
Lawbreaking Ladies: 50 Tales of Daring, Defiant, and Dangerous Women from History by Erika Owen

informative lighthearted medium-paced

3.75

It was a really fun read and was pretty informative; highlighting many outlaw women I was not familiar with. However, from the “quirky” way the author would occasionally write, it did seem to come off as, sort of, a white feminist research project. Out of the 50ish women covered, four were BIPOC, two Asian and two Black women. Everyone else was white and arguably very cis-hetero. No gay women and no trans or gender-noncomforming (as we understand the term now) women as I know there for in the 18th through 20th century. 

Touching on the illustrations, I think I would have also preferred it to be illustrated by a woman.
