Interesting collection of obituaries of 20th century women, many of them very formidable indeed - will make most people feel quite inferior. Some very entertaining, eg Barbara Cartland. Easy to dip into or read at one sitting. UK-based women only although many of them had a good deal of foreign experience in their lives. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la série
This is an inimitable collection of outrageous and unforgettable 20th-century women who refused to fulfill society's expectations. Their company includes the woman who survived 4 months adrift in a dinghy in the Pacific and the woman who played professional polo disguised as a man for 15 years, as well as the inimitable Dame Barbara Cartland and Fanny Cradock. Very few of the women featured were "celebrities," yet their stories represent a century of progress and change, capturing the spirit of those who came of age between Emancipation and the Equal Opportunities Act, whether high life or low life, pioneers or bluestockings.
