Modern Women
52 Pioneers
Kira Cochrane New Hardback Illustrated
Postscript summary
From household names such as Virginia Woolf and Katharine Hepburn to lesser-known figures including the strike leader Jayaben Desai and artist Ana Mendieta, Kira Cochrane presents potted biographies of 52 women who have had a marked influence on social and cultural history. Spanning several centuries, continents and disciplines, their collective spirit is encapsulated by the punk singer Kathleen Hanna's declaration that 'feminism isn't something that you are, it's something that you do'.
