Women Who Dared: To Break All the Rules
920 Sco
In 1870, a mesmerizing psychic named Victoria Woodhull shattered tradition by running for the White House. Had she won, the ensuing spectacle would surely have rivaled even that of our own era. Abhorring such flamboyance, Mary Wollstonecraft inspired a revolution of thought with her pen as she issued women’s first manifesto—still to be fulfilled. These six women had no time for what society said they could and could not do. They would see the world bend before they did. From Aimee Semple McPherson, the first female preacher in America, to Coco Chanel, designer of an empire, they became the change they wanted to see. With great verve, wit and reverence, author Jeremy Scott pays tribute to them.
