Based on Mackenzi Lee's popular weekly Twitter series of the same name, Bygone Badass Broads features 52 remarkable and forgotten trailblazing women from all over the world. With tales of heroism and cunning, in-depth bios and witty storytelling, Bygone Badass Broads gives new life to these historic female pioneers. Starting in the fifth century BC and continuing to the present, the book takes a closer look at bold and inspiring women who dared to step outside the traditional gender roles of their time. Coupled with Lee's humorous and conversational storytelling style, this book is an outright celebration of the badass women who paved the way for the rest of us.

Awesome book!

while learning about historical women was great, the book is hard to listen to. The narration is very flat in tone, jokes poorly written and attempts to insert "snappy pop culture" references into everything forced and annoying

interesting subject, terrible jokes/narration

I like the fact that it had so many women that no one's ever heard of. It lacked a little on verification

I like to hear the fascinating history of significant women. I don't appreciate her personal #Slogans and personal commentary. I loose the content of the storyline. I didn't finish the book.

Excellent in every way ! I’ll read again! I’ll recommend to all my friends ! The reader was great as well !

Badass

Interesting and worthwhile but It felt like listening to a sixteen-year-old with annoying, immature writing and speaking habits. What actually happened historically was occasionally lost in the confusion of over eager attempts to slide in an extra "slay" or other slang term.

valuable information with an obnoxious style

The performance was supreme. Lucy James has a voice that is one of the best I’ve heard. She was perfect for this “important “ book.
I learned more about the herstory of many amazing women in 4 hours then I have in over 70 years of life. This is a must listen for all people who support equality. It assures you that if ANY job needs to be done...there is a special woman out there to do it. Thank you Ms Lee for your exceptional book.

Fantastic,Educational and Essential
