‘With an adman’s flair for what’s bold and flashy [Scott] speeds the reader through the lives of his extraordinary subjects.’ * <i>Sunday Times</i> * ‘There are some great stories along the way, and Scott tells them with verve.’ * <i>New York Times</i> * ‘Hugely enjoyable and a sparkling addition to the genre.’ -- Katie Hickman, author of <i>Daughters of Britannia</i> and <i>Courtesans</i> ‘Simultaneously an exuberant celebration of lives lived at full throttle, and a collection of cautionary tales… an engaging and often witty celebration of rugged individualism and outright eccentricity.’ -- Siân Evans, author of <i>Queen Bees</i> ‘Bold, raunchy, and colorful, Scott’s book reveals what the history books leave out, including intimate details of the hidden and public scandals that marked the lives of these outspoken women, and honors them for their courage, determination, and commitment to change.’ * <i>Foreword Reviews</i> * ‘He writes with verve…his fascination with his subjects is infectious.’ * <i>Kirkus</i> * ‘Jeremy Scott, a man who clearly loves women, is awed by the exploits of these outrageous rule breakers. Me too. It’s a great read.’ -- Marcelle d’Argy Smith
