Bad Girls Throughout History: 100 Remarkable Women Who Changed the World by Ann Shen

If I could meet one famous person, living or dead, it would be the late great Aphra Behn, of whom Virginia Woolf credited for establishing the female voice in literature, and whom we celebrate as the first professional female writer (she was a government spy that moonlighted as a playwright). This is the first publication by L.A. illustrator/creator Shen, and let us hope it’s not the last. From Cleopatra to Malala, these are their stories, illustrations, and trailblazing moments outlined with wit and bad-girl worthiness (as if they’d have it any other way).
