Rejected Princesses

Published on 2016-10-25 by HarperCollins
Blending the iconoclastic feminism of The Notorious RBG and the confident irreverence of Go the F**ck to Sleep, a brazen and empowering illustrated collection that celebrates inspirational badass women throughout history, based on the popular Tumblr blog. Well-behaved women seldom make history. Good thing these women are far from well behaved . . . Illustrated in a contemporary animation style, Rejected Princesses turns the ubiquitous |pretty pink princess| stereotype portrayed in movies, and on endless toys, books, and tutus on its head, paying homage instead to an awesome collection of strong, fierce, and yes, sometimes weird, women: warrior queens, soldiers, villains, spies, revolutionaries, and more who refused to behave and meekly accept their place. An entertaining mix of biography, imagery, and humor written in a fresh, young, and riotous voice, this thoroughly researched exploration salutes these awesome women drawn from both historical and fantastical realms, including real life, literature, mythology, and folklore. Each profile features an eye-catching image of both heroic and villainous women in command from across history and around the world, from a princess-cum-pirate in fifth century Denmark, to a rebel preacher in 1630s Boston, to a bloodthirsty Hungarian countess, and a former prostitute who commanded a fleet of more than 70,000 men on China’s seas.

Colm Tóibíin, all the award-winning novelist of These Masterand Brooklyn, changes this treatment with the difficult connections relating to daddies not to mention sons—in particular the actual trepidation regarding the literary new york giants Oscar Wilde, David Joyce, W.B. Yeats, and your fathers. Wilde loathed your partner's pops, while regarded them to be a whole lot alike. Joyce's gregarious mother went their son through Ireland by reason of your partner's volatile outburst plus drinking. Though Yeats's father, some artist, was apparently a beautiful conversationalist whoever chattering was many more slick versus works of art the guy produced. All these prominent gentlemen and also the daddies what people improved pattern them come with your life throughout Tóibín's retelling, just like Dublin's multi-colored inhabitants.
