100 fascinating and brilliantly written stories about history's bravest, baddest but little known 'nasty' women from across the world.
These are the stories of incredible women you've probably never heard of, but should have. The women who were too brave and too brilliant and too unconventional and too political and too poor to be recognised by their shrivel-souled contemporaries. The women who were deemed too 'nasty' for their times, too nasty to be recognised, too nasty to be paid for their work and sometimes too nasty to be allowed to live.
Read their stories and bask in the warm, tingling sensation that comes from learning for the first time about a woman from history who gave zero f*cks whatsoever. It's just as satisfying as a cathartic scream - but less alarming to your friends and neighbours.
