    Boadicea lives
  

*by H***Z on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2020*

This is an informational book written with the skilled pen of an experienced journalist who had covered the political beat for a long time. The book begins with Boadecea, of whom, facts are murky, including her name, but she is deserves the opening chapter of a long history of how women fought conventional expectations as well as conventions to reach the point where two of the last three chapters are about women Prime Ministers in Britain – Thatcher and Sturgeon. Sandwiched between them is Mary Quant who led a fashion and life-style revolution for women, and whose role remains much under-appreciated. Some might think it strange to glorify a woman who created the ‘mini-skirt’, but the impact of that at the time was one of emancipation from conventional dressing expected of women. You are what you wear. There are loads of lovely quotations. Thatcher, loved and loathed in equal measures was quoted to have said, ‘I am not a woman Prime Minister. I am a Prime Minister’. Barbara Castle declared, ‘I don’t care if they call me chairman, the chairwoman, the chairperson, or the chair, as long as I am in the chair.’ We will have our favourites – mine is Millicent Anderson Fawcett (who, with her sister, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, taught us the difference between Suffragist and Suffragette) – and be dismayed that some others are not included (I would have loved Virginia Woolf to be included), but there is enough to make this a thoroughly enjoyable and heart-warming book.

    British History - 21 Influential Women
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2020*

Rather dry reading. Would've liked more personal details about their private lives, especially the women of ancient times, like Boudicca.
