A funny and fascinating introduction to some of history's most interesting women, their stories and what we can learn from them.

How many 'ordinary' women have made small and big courageous decisions in their normal lives that were never recorded? Women often feel that they have to be extraordinary just to be remembered, and the pressure many women feel to succeed is immense. This book is a celebration of all women's achievements and it reminds readers that although all the women in this book did something extraordinary, they too were just ordinary women.

Written in the satirical form of a self-help How To guide, Morton delves into the stories of women like Bobbi Gibb (How to Get Fit), Mary Seacole (How To Make It in Fashion), Judith Kerr (How to Thrive) and other women throughout history who stood up to the status quo.

Ultimately, all women, regardless of what they have 'achieved' are deserving of a place in history. And they all have something to teach us.
