Description

Courageous women change history and remould our culture.

For centuries, rebel ladies have been punching up, fighting for freedoms and equality, challenging the world order.

Today, the next generation continue the fight, boldly marching, banners flying, into a brighter future. And yet, women’s contributions are routinely marginalised, squeezed aside by the usual cast of pale, male and stale characters.

Determined to redress the balance, veteran journalist and author Yasmin Alibhai-Brown sets lesser-known names alongside the most famous, celebrating fifty daring, courageous, indomitable women.

There’s Anne Lister, the lesbian landowner; Sophia Singh, the forgotten suffragette; detective superintendent Shabnam Chaudhri, the first Asian/Muslim to hold that role in the Met; and Harriet Wistrich, the superlative human rights lawyer.

There’s Reni Eddo-Lodge, Caroline Criado Perez, Shazia Mirza; the list goes on. Featuring interviews with the women themselves, this refreshing compendium of fearless ladies is a fortifying tonic, reviving the stories of women lost to history and cheering on those who will lead the way to a more equal tomorrow.
