About Badass Women of History

From the publisher's feed

What do Catherine the Great, Cleopatra, and Elizabeth I have in common? They were all badass. However, they aren’t the only women throughout history who have broken the mold, dared to be different, and engaged in some generally kick-ass behavior. Each week, long-time friends Gillian and Kendra, will be joined by special guests as they take a deeper look at and feature one of many overlooked, sidelined, and less than famous Badass Women in History and ask, what would they do in times like these?
