Difficult Women: A History of Feminism in 11 Fights Book Information:

women dont make history: difficult women do. Helen Lewis argues that feminisms success is down to complicated, contradictory, imperfect women, who fought each other as well as fighting for equal rights. Too many of these pioneers have been whitewashed or forgotten in our modern search for feel-good, inspirational heroines. Its time to reclaim the history of feminism as a history of difficult women. In this book, youll meet the working-class suffragettes who advocated bombings and arson; the princess who discovered why so many women were having bad sex; the pioneer of the refuge movement who became a mens rights activist; the striker in a sari who terrified Margaret Thatcher; the wronged Victorian wife who definitely wasnt Outraged the country. Taking the story up to the present with the twenty-first-century campaign for abortion services, Helen Lewis reveals the unvarnished and unfinished history of womens rights. Drawing on archival research and interviews, difficult women is a funny, fearless and sometimes shocking narrative history, which shows why the feminist movement has succeeded and what it should do next. The battle is difficult, and we must be difficult too.
