An account of the complexities of being difficult and the necessity of being so to achieve change.

Loosely described as a history of feminism, Difficult Women brings into focus some of the lesser known women pioneers and uses their failures and successes to tell the story of how progress has been made, and sometimes thwarted.

Helen Lewis writes with a very engaging mix of wit and determination, wearing her passion lightly but never making light of the challenges and the pain endured by those she writes about.
