Scandalous Women: The Lives and Loves of History's Most Notorious Women(ISBN=9780399536458) 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子版 mobi 在线

　　Throughout history women have caused wars, defied the rules,

and brought men to their knees. The famous and the infamous,

queens, divorcées, actresses, and outlaws have created a ruckus

during their lifetimes-turning heads while making waves. Scandalous

Women tells the stories of the risk takers who have flouted

convention, beaten the odds, and determined the course of world

events.

* When Cleopatra (69 BC-30 BC) wasn't bathing in asses' milk, the

last pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty ruled Egypt and forged an

important political alliance with Rome against her enemies-until

her dalliance with Marc Antony turned the empire against her.

* Emilie du Ch?telet (1706-1748), a mathematician, physicist,

author, and paramour of one of the greatest minds in France,

Voltaire, shocked society with her unorthodox lifestyle and

intellectual prowess-and became a leader in the study of

theoretical physics in France at a time when the sciences were

ruled by men.

* Long before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus,

Ida B. Wells-Barnett (1862-1928) fought to end discrimination and

the terrible crime of lynching and helped found the NAACP, but

became known as a difficult woman for her refusal to compromise and

was largely lost in the annals of history.

* Gertrude Bell (1868-1926) had a passion for archaeology and

languages, and left her privileged world behind to become one of

the foremost chroniclers of British imperialism in the Middle East,

and one of the architects of the modern nation of Iraq.
