Well-behaved women don't make history: difficult women do. 'This is the antidote to
saccharine you-go-girl fluff. Effortlessly erudite and funny' Caroline Criado-Perez Strikers
in saris. Bomb-throwing suffragettes. The pioneer of the refuge movement who became a men's
rights activist. Forget feel-good heroines: meet the feminist trailblazers who have been
airbrushed from history for being 'difficult' - and discover how they made a difference. Here
are their stories in all their shocking funny and unvarnished glory. ** Shortlisted in the
2020 Parliamentary Book Awards ** 'All the history you need to understand why you're so
furious angry and still hopeful about being a woman now. A book that is part intellectual
weapon in your handbag part cocktail with a friend' Caitlin Moran 'Compulsive rigorous
unforgettable hilarious and devastating' Hadley Freeman 'A great manifesto for all those
women who have never been very good at being well-behaved .' Mary Beard ' Difficult Women is
full of vivid detail jam-packed with research and fizzing with provocation' Sunday Times
