Throughout history and across the globe, one characteristic connects the daring women of Brazen: their indomitable spirit. Against overwhelming adversity, these remarkable women raised their voices and changed history.
With her one-of-a-kind wit and dazzling drawings, celebrated graphic novelist Pénélope Bagieu profiles the lives of these feisty female role models, some world-famous, some little known. From Nellie Bly to Mae Jemison or Josephine Baker to Naziq al-Abid, the stories in this comic biography are sure to inspire the next generation of rebel ladies.

So much to enjoy and discover in this book!
Fantastic book! This reminded me of the freedom imparted by staying true to oneself and doing what you care about deeply.
I wish I had written and drawn such a fantastic overview of bad ass women. There were quite a few women I had never heard of, and I will now be seeking out more chronicles of these women.
I don't often buy books, but this is one I would wish to own if simply to give to others for their own enjoyment.
