Bad Girls And Wicked Women

Bad Girls and Wicked Women – Jan Stradling (2008, Pier 9)

Think history is all powdered wigs, dusty kings, and dull treaties? Think again. Bad Girls and Wicked Women shines a scandalous spotlight on the ladies who didn’t bother playing nice. From queens who plotted with poison to courtesans who bent empires around their little fingers, Jan Stradling rounds up history’s most notorious femmes fatales and tells their stories with verve, bite, and plenty of eyebrow-raising detail.

This isn’t your polite schoolroom history—it’s a rogues’ gallery of rebellion, seduction, and unapologetic trouble-making. Whether admired or reviled (often both), these women refused to sit quietly in the corner of history.

Condition: Aged but still standing—much like some of the women inside. Pages may be yellowed, cover might show its wicked years, but the scandal within is as sharp as ever.

Perfect for readers who like their history juicy, their heroines unruly, and their bedtime reading a little dangerous.

Condition as new.
