100 fascinating and brilliantly written stories about history's bravest, baddest but little known 'nasty' women from across the world. In the final debate of the 2016 US presidential election, Donald Trump leaned into the microphone as Hillary Clinton spoke about social security and called his opponent 'such a nasty woman'. The phrase has stuck around and has since become something of a badge of honour for women around the world. What better time than now, then, for us to look back and learn a thing or two from the 'nasty' women of the past? Compiled and written by BuzzFeed writer Hannah Jewell, 100 Nasty Women of History contains profiles of women from across every century, race and continent, united in the fact that they were all a bit 'nasty'. From 3rd-century Japanese Empress Jingu to 20th-century British social reformer Octavia Hill, these are the women who were bold and powerful, but maybe put people (men's) backs up by being so. 100 Nasty Women of History is an accessible, intelligent, hilarious (and sometimes sweary) guide to the history-making women whom you probably don't know - but definitely should.… (mais)

I consider myself fairly well-read and I'd heard of some of these women (Nancy Wake, Nellie Bly, Sappho, Hypatia, Hedy Lamarr, et al) but obviously many were new to me, so thank you to Jewell and 100 Nasty Women of History for introducing some of these frankly cool chicks to me.

While the writing style sometimes grates, Jewell manages to cover the life of each nasty woman in some detail in only a few pages and kept me entertained throughout. I kept thinking of other women that didn't make the list but perhaps that's for the sequel. ( )

It is wonderful to see so many great, intelligent, powerful and disruptive women being recognised. Jewell presents a synopsis of the life's work of a number of historically significant women (there are actually more than 100 as a family of sisters is included as a single entry). The women are from a wide range of cultures, time periods and backgrounds, and their contributions include everything from science, the arts, politics and to military conquest. As I was reading it, I could think of at least 100 more who were equally worthy of inclusion

However, I must admit that I was a little disappointed with the presentation of the information. It is an important topic, and it is wonderful to see these women given space, but I found that the style of writing wasn't for me. The book is well researched and referenced, but the modern, conversational style of writing doesn't appeal to me. I suspect that it does appeal to younger generations, and as such, probably hits the mark. ( )
