Explore history's feminine side through the outrageous, outspoken women -- risk takers and do-gooders, academics and visionaries -- who have influenced the world, from ancient Egypt to medieval Europe to modern America. These thinkers, lovers, advocates, and entrepreneurs reveal that a sharp intellect (and tongue!) can change minds and hearts. Whether determined to seek a new path, end injustice, or simply share her perspective, each led a courageous campaign -- on the battlefield, on the streets, in the home. From letters, diaries, books and speeches come 170 insights and insults -- on truth, love, independence, inequality, and more -- by such trailblazers as: Abigail Adams, Catherine the Great, Sacagawea, Louisa May Alcott, Lady Murasaki, Sojourner Truth, Lucrezia Borgia, Queen Elizabeth I.
