Fun, short read

Since I read this book in English, I will also Review it in English :) I bought this book way back when I wasn’t even in my reading era. But I must honestly say I’m quite proude of my past self to pick up such a fun lighthearted book about amazing women. It was very easy to read and I finished it in under a week. Very modern language, let’s see how it will age (milk or wine-we shall find out) Me personally thought in some parts it was too short and unprecise. I would have loved to read a little bit more detailed history about those amazing women but I get it writing short biographies about 50(!) women isn’t easy. I couldn’t have done it better. Worth a read!

Als Hörbucheinstieg war „What Would Boudicca Do?“ echt super. In Kurzporträts von 5-10 Minuten werden berühmte und weniger bekannte weibliche Persönlichkeiten der Weltgeschichte vorgestellt. Darunter Kleopatra, Königin Victoria, Agatha Christie, Coco Chanel und Amelia Earhart. Man lernt nicht nur, wie sie die Literatur, Mode, Medizin, etc. vorantrieben sondern auch, wie sie sich alle durchbeißen und für ihr Recht kämpfen mussten. Mit Nettigkeit und Fügsamkeit kommt man eben nicht ans Ziel.

I fear the hip language and references used will not let this book age well, but otherwise it was a wonderful read.
