Description

Discover the untold stories of the women who shaped modern Britain. Cathy Newman's Bloody Brilliant Women brings to life the pioneering women who defied convention and changed the course of history. From the arts to medicine, politics, law, engineering, and the military, these women's achievements have been overlooked for too long. Newman's book sheds light on the remarkable lives of women like Beatrice Shilling, who invented a device that helped the RAF win the Battle of Britain, and Dorothy Lawrence, who disguised herself as a man to become a WW1 correspondent. With meticulous research and a wealth of primary sources, Bloody Brilliant Women is a fresh and opinionated history that will surprise and inspire you.
