This was an amazing collection!

Brazen is full of short biographies of incredible women throughout history, and one of the aspects I loved about it the most was that a lot of the women I had never heard of before. Or I had heard of them in passing for superficial reasons (looks or husbands) and never for what they actually did with their lives.

This collection doesn't focus on one type of woman, it focuses on all. Women from all over the world, in different time periods, with radically different lives and stories. There are stories about actresses, activists, lawyers, teachers, artists, queens, mothers, scientists, and many more. Personally, my favourite stories were about Christine Jorgensen, Sonita Alizadeh, Agnodice, Leymah Gbowee, Jesselyn Radack, and Mae Jemison.

If you're a fan of story collections about amazing women (as I am) I would definitely include this in your TBR.
