Summary Constance Jones gives readers an entertaining and panoramic view of the female half of history. She covers the people that we all ought to know, like Queen Elizabeth I, Helen Keller and Marie Curie, as well as other leading female politicians, artists, athletes, physicians, teachers, soldiers, criminals, spiritual leaders, entertainers, poets, inventors, lovers and thrill seekers of every sort. In addition to presenting a well-rounded survey of the achievements of women, she offers a healthy smattering of amusing, startling and scandalous tidbits - the naughty stuff that makes history so much fun
