Comedian, actor, and writer Tracy Dawson introduces a diverse group of women who have defied the patriarchy in this downright snarky yet impassioned homage to female ingenuity and tenacity. Taking matters into their own hands, they dressed as men—whether literally or figuratively—to live the lives they wanted, from competing in marathons and practicing medicine to tunneling in the earth as miners, sailing the seas as pirates, and fighting on the frontlines in war. Tina Berning provides vibrant and expressive illustrations throughout.
