This book details the lives and deeds of some of the most extraordinary women in history. Trailblazers, hell-raisers and firebrands, these women showed a level of daring and disregard for traditional gender roles completely atypical of their time and culture. The collection features women like Njinga, guerrilla fighter and queen of 17th century Angola, Moll Cutpurse, underworld matriarch of the streets of Elizabethan London and Anne Bonny, Irish pirate and rebel.
