Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. Like most collective biographies, this book does not delve too deeply into the subjects' lives, but it is a great introduction to history's famous bad girls. The writing is simple, almost at a middle grade level, but the subject matter is more young adult. I really enjoyed Guay's illustrations and the short comics at the ends of the chapters, although I wish there had been even more debate over the badness of the women featured. Still, the seed is planted, and hopefully this will inspire teens to draw their own conclusions about these famous females. This was even cooler then I expected. There are tons of 2-5 page biographies on famous female villains, some of whom I had never heard of which was pretty exciting to me since I tend to read a lot of these bad girl type books. The biographies are quick, exciting and totally readable and between biographies there are comic strips of the two authors doing research, talking about their subjects and whether they were really villains or victims of circumstance. There are also gorgeous portraits of each of the ladies in question. At the end there is what I consider a fairly thorough bibliography of each woman listing at least 3 sources for each woman (yes wikipedia is included however we all know wikipedia can be a great starting point for research so deal with it.)

HTML: From Jezebel to Catherine the Great, from Cleopatra to Mae West, from Mata Hari to Bonnie Parker, strong women have been a problem for historians, storytellers, and readers. Strong females smack of the unfeminine. They have been called wicked, wanton, and willful. Sometimes that is a just designation, but just as often it is not. "Well-behaved women seldom make history," is the frequently quoted statement by historian and feminist Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. But what makes these misbehaving women "bad"? Are we idolizing the wicked or salvaging the strong? Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
