![]() You’ve got your standard celebrities of history here-Joan of Arc, Cleopatra, Eleanor Roosevelt, etc-but there were so many more women whom I didn’t already know of! From pirate queens to wrestler princesses to entrepreneurs and movie stars, you’re bound to make some new friends here. This book is designed to introduce you to one hundred women from a variety of backgrounds, races, ethnicities, countries, and disciplines, and their short biographies are paired alongside Shen’s gorgeous art. What makes a lady a “bad girl?” If you ask Ann Shen, it’s a woman who breaks “any socially accepted rule,” whether it’s in how they dress, who they love, how they choose to make their living, or, in the case of Bonnie Parker, actual criminal activity. ![]() Obviously, Ann Shen’s gorgeous art takes center stage here-the cover’s portraits of Cleopatra, Norma Shearer, Anna May Wong, Joan of Arc, Billie Holiday, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Maya Angelou, plus the prettily-lettered title, tell you everything you need to know.
