Every day, all around the world, women are reinventing what it means to be female in culture where power, privilege or basic freedoms are all too often equated with being male. Here, Caroline Criado-Perez, one of the most vocal and tenacious campaigners of her generation, introduces us to some of these pioneering women. We meet the first woman to cross the Antarctic alone; we meet a female fighter pilot in Afghanistan; we meet a climate change activist who scaled new heights; we meet the Chilean revolutionary turned politician; we meet the Russian punks who rocked out against Putin; and we meet the Iranian journalist who dared to uncover her hair. Gathering together stories from all corners of the world, Do It Like a Woman is an inspiring celebration of private heroisms and public triumphs, and a brilliant, necessary manifesto for women everywhere.
