    The premise of What Would Boudicca Do? is to help younger women navigate today's problems by asking... "what would [insert strong woman from the past] do?" It tells the stories of fifty exceptional women in history, how they overcame personal struggles, societal limitations, etc and how they flourished. The author then goes on to dispense advice or relate each woman's struggles to today's problems.

    If you're looking for an academic take on these women you'll be disappointed with this book. It isn't a history book intended to give you pages and pages of factually accounts of these women's lives, but rather a lightweight, fun collection of facts and real-life stories aimed to inspire. It's written in a "chatty" style of narrative and full of pop culture references which gives it a very accessible tone.

    I enjoyed learning about all of these badass historical women who tried their absolute best and who fought, morally or not, to be heard. Appreciated the mix of the familiar and lesser known figures, a lot I'd never heard of! Also appreciated there wasn't an accompanying men are terrible vibe as these type of feminist literature books tend to have. This one actually pays homage to the men who fought for gender equality, encouraged and supported their wives / daughters, etc in the afterword. Bonus points for that.
