“What a fun and fascinating read! I originally found it on Libby but liked it enough to buy a copy for myself off of Thriftbooks. The book is a compilation of Twitter threads using #BygoneBaddassBroads so the stories are short, focused, and hilarious. The author is very inclusive with an incredibly diverse cast of women from cultures spanning the globe; ranging from warriors to scientists and suffragets to athletes; and includes our LGBTQIA+ sisters.
Personally, I would have liked the book to flesh out the stories a bit, maybe through additional endnotes or something.”
“Quippy read that has coffee table book vibes and is at times overly rosey. Some of the entries were really cool to learn about and some were definitely giving "girl boss." Author was inconsistent in covering harder topics that definitely were present during specific time periods. Beautiful art!”
