“It‘s up to all of us to future-proof our equality.”
There‘s nothing more inspiring than stories of badass women from all walks of life. With so many of my feminist heroes and a bunch of new additions to my list, this was a seriously fun and inspirational read.

Yaaas girls!
I loved this. I've always love learning about badass women of history. I learnt a lot from these women.
I liked that it wasn't big. Their story in a nutshell and this is why they are amazing. It's inspiring and epic

If my hair was a little longer this would be me.

Impulse #libraryhaul (had 20 minutes to kill while waiting for the bus and luckily the bus stop is right in front of the library) - and a #blamelitsy Etsy purchase that arrived today

 @GypsyKat they smell so good!

GypsyKat Ahhh! So awesome!!! I ordered some of their lip balms (which I love) but I didn‘t order the candles yet. These two are both on my wishlist! 😍😍😍 5y
ohyeahthatgirl I've been wanting Tiny Crimes for so long! My library hasn't picked it up and there are so many good authors in it. 5y

Brief bios and life lessons from fifty diverse women ahead of their time, who followed their own path. Women like Mary Wollstonecraft, Rosa Parks, Hypatia, Madam CJ Walker, Frida Kahlo, Enheduanna, Dorothy Parker, Mekatilili, Hedy Lamarr, George Eliot, Akiko Yosano, Ann Richards, and Josephine Baker. Easy read that can be done in order or not, depending on your mood and interests. Liked that there were plenty of women I hadn‘t heard of before.

I never worry about diets. The only carrots I‘m interested in are the number you get in a diamond. ~ Mae West

Starting with the gorgeous cover to flaunt in public and ending with relevant stories to bolster your self-confidence, What Would Boudicca Do? is a good companion for any contemporary woman's nightstand: http://bit.ly/2A2EClI
