Description
Badly Behaved Women is the illustrated story of the past 100 years of the women's movement, from suffrage, alleged bra burning and the politics of hair to Beyonce, body positivity and #MeToo.
In the early twentieth century, through ceaseless dedication and fearless campaigning, the women's movement achieved what had previously been unimaginable: a woman's right to vote. Four waves of feminism and a century on, the rich cultural history of this movement is truly worthy of celebration.
Accompanied by stunning photographs, personal testimony essays from key figures and archive material from sources around the world, Anna-Marie Crowhurst's compelling and entertaining retelling of this multi-stranded, global and ongoing story also examines the flaws of the movement and the future of feminism.
Personal testimony essays from: Alice Coffin; Juno Dawson; Diana Evans; Nadia Ghulam; Susie Orbach; Helen Pankhurst; Gisela Perez de Acha; Laura Perlongo; Emeli Sande; Anne Wafula Strike; Hibo Wardere; Harriet Wistrich; Rosie Wolfenden.
Rare and never seen before documents and memorabilia are reproduced on page in this exquisitely designed and printed book, a unique visual celebration of feminism in the last century, with a focus on the last 50 years.
