Amazons and Hellcats is part of the Pocket History series—a conveniently portable, stylishly packaged and eminently collectible set of twelve books that each open a window onto a selection of remarkable stories, characters and themes from the past. In a world of judges and generals who define themselves first and foremost as women, it cannot be forgotten that until recently women had a measly menu of options for authentic self-expression. Artists and athletes, politicians and revolutionaries, scientists and educators—Amazons and Hellcats celebrates thirteen of the most amazing women who have singularly and collectively fought and cleared a path for other females to follow.
