We’ve gone digging for lost and forgotten women we think you’ll love.
From Irish pirate queens and naughty pig-wife belly goddesses to sword-wielding nemeses we bring you gob-smacking myths and legends of females outgunning adversity. Wielding wit, brains, cunning, courage, righteous rage and the occasional superpower, these deliciously imperfect women show us just what we can get done when we give absolutely no f***s.
