not-so-well-behaved women who made history
because the well-behaved ones rarely do. // This is a list of non-fiction books about the women throughout history who refused to play by the rules. (note: some of these women did participate in crimes against humanity/colonialism/slavery/etc, this list does not condone such behaviours, but is instead determined to bring the lives of influential women into the limelight).

Secret Histories
These are history books about less acknowledged history, of course this tends to happen most with history from non-white, colonised places but has happened in many others too. It is important to draw attention to these issues so that they are not forgotten (non-fiction only)
