'Extraordinary' Woman&Home

A Roaring Girl was loud when she should be quiet, disruptive when she should be submissive, sexual when she should be pure, 'masculine' when she should be 'feminine'.

Meet the unsung heroines of British history who refused to play by the rules.

Roaring Girls tells the game-changing life stories of eight formidable women whose grit, determination and radical unconventionality saw them defy the odds to forge their own paths.

From the notorious cross-dressing thief Mary Frith in the seventeenth century to rebel slave Mary Prince and adventurer, industrialist and LGBT trailblazer Anne Lister in the nineteenth, these diverse characters redefined what a woman could be and what she could do in pre-twentieth-century Britain.

Bold, inspiring and powerfully written, Roaring Girls tells the electrifying histories of women who, despite every effort to suppress them, dared to be extraordinary.

The book ROARING GIRLS by Holly Kyte is a literary masterpiece that delves into the sexuality and gender roles of eight extraordinary women. It's a top-rated biography that offers a unique social criticism of the times these women lived in.

For fans of Janina Ramirez (Femina), Stanley Tucci (What I Ate in One Year), Hallie Rubenhold (The Five), Lucy Worsley (Jane Austen at Home), and Hana Videen (The Deorhord).
