Beschreibung

From rebels to writers, athletes to astronauts, join Kate Fox takes on an entertaining and eye-opening journey through the lives of these extraordinary women whose lives and achievements have too long been hidden.  
From Cartimandua, the forgotten Iron Age Queen of the North, to Woodbine-smoking football player Lily Parr, Kate with her trademark wit and sense of fun, shows how these astonishing trailblazers laid the ground for modern stars from Victoria Wood to Little Mix. Nicola Adams, Betty Boothroyd and Helen Sharman all have these unsung northern champions to thank for paving their way. 
Funny, enlightening and a call to arms, it’s perfect for a nation ready to rediscover its hidden heroes. 
Kate Fox's exploration of these women's lives is a top-notch autobiography, shedding light on the political and social landscape of Britain. Their stories, intertwined with the history of Europe, are a testament to their resilience and their impact on the world. 
For fans of Neil Oliver (The Story of the World in 100 Moments), David Sedaris (Happy-Go-Lucky), Eleanor Parker (Winters in the World), Katy Wix (The Methuen Book of Comic Monologues for Women), and Maggie O'Farrell (I Am, I Am, I Am).
