Book Description

Meet the bold women history has tried to forget…until now!

Women’s stories are often written as if they spent their entire time on earth casting woeful but beautiful glances toward the horizon and swooning at the thought of any conflict.

Well, that’s not how it f**king happened. When you hear about a woman who was 100 percent pure and good, you’re probably missing the best chapters of her story. Maybe she slept around. Maybe she stole. Maybe she crashed planes. Maybe she got shot, or maybe she shot a bad guy (who probably had it coming). Maybe she caused a scandal. Maybe she caused a riot…

From badass writer Hannah Jewell, a Washington Post video host, She Caused a Riot is an empowering, no-holds-barred look into the epic adventures and dangerous exploits of 100 inspiring women who absolutely crushed it. They were too brave, too brilliant, too unconventional, too political, too poor, and not white enough to be recognized by their shitty contemporaries. Fearless and gift-worthy, this riot book is a bold tribute to the powerful women who came before us in the spirit of Bad Girls Throughout History, In Praise of Difficult Women, Bygone Badass Broads, and Being Boss.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Jewell narrates the lives of these women with a righteous comic and conversational tone, and her enthusiasm is contagious…galvanizing and laugh-out-loud funny, this book is a riot on par with the women it presents. ” ― Booklist

“Laugh-out-loud funny and inspiring, this book introduces you to these women like they’re your besties. Read it to pick a glorious new role model, collect awesome cocktail party banter, and feel more connected to strong women all across time.” ― Krista Suh, creator of the Pussyhat Project and author of DIY Rules for a WTF World

“A fun, hilarious read that will make a fantastic addition to your feminist library and historical knowledge.” ― Ann Shen, author of Bad Girls Throughout History

“It’s a history book but not a textbook, unless one’s history professors are totally rad. It’s funny and presented as a salve to the current injustices of the world…It provides hope that women have survived worse, and will not only roll with the punches but nevertheless persist.” ― Hers Magazine
