From the dawn of time, countless women have ben told, “Nope, not for you,” simply because of their gender. A sardonic and thoroughly impassioned homage to female ingenuity and tenacity, Comedian Tracy Dawson profiles women who broke all the rules, dressing – sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively – as men to reach their goals. This entertaining and eye-opening collection lovingly illuminates with wry humor the incredible stories of a diverse group of women from different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds who defied the patriarchy.
