They had no time for what society said they could and couldn't do and would see the world bend before they did. In 1870 a mesmerising psychic named Victoria Woodhull shattered tradition by running for the White House. Had she won the ensuing spectacle would surely have rivalled 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. From Aimee Semple McPherson, the first female preacher in America, to Coco Chanel, designer of an empire, these women became the change they wanted to see in society. In this book, Jeremy Scott pays tribute to them all with wit, verve and reverence. 650 0 $a Women $v Biography. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85147276 650 0 $a Women $x History. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85147304 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423686 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781786071941 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021025416.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5E3196420B6411EAA467CE0D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
