Quirky History: Kick-Ass Women Throughout History

On August 18, 2016, I published the following post on Quirk Books.

Quirky History: Kick-Ass Women Throughout History

Mary Wollstonecraft
Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)

August 18 marks the anniversary of the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. What’s the big deal with the Nineteenth Amendment? It gives American women the right to vote! To celebrate this victory we here at Quirk Books would like to introduce you to some kick-ass women throughout history whose legacy lives on long after they passed away.

In the words of my friend, the Australian, I shall return.
