Publisher's Summary

Every day women are reinventing what it means to be female in cultures where power, privilege or basic freedoms are all too often equated with being male. One of the most tenacious campaigners of her generation, Caroline Criado-Perez introduces us to these pioneering women.

We meet the first woman to cross the Antarctic alone; a female fighter pilot in Afghanistan; a Chilean revolutionary turned politician; and the Iranian journalist who dared to uncover her hair.

Empowering

I didn’t like anything about this book: not the stories; not the way it was read; not even some of the moral and ethical positions that are adopted. But it describes the political and social reality for more than half of the world’s human population.

If we want social justice and if we want to change the story for women around the world, we need to face up to some harsh and unpalatable truths. And we need to act upon them.

Thank you Caroline Criado-Perez for doing it like a strong and courageous woman. When there’s a balance of power, women won’t need to be so militant and the truth will no longer be so confronting.

What a fantastic book

I want to listen to this book over & over to burn the names of these incredible women into my brain. How did women become to be so reviled by society when such brilliant, strong, brave women exist? This book is truly wonderful to listen to - Caroline is a fantastic, clear narrator and her passion for her subject matter is obvious and intense. I loved this book so much.
