Book Description
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.

Book Description
In ancient times, the legendary Somali warrior known as Queen Arawelo led an uprising against the Old Order, deposed her tyrannical and short-tempered husband King Abdi and became sole ruler of Somalia. In ancient Africa, such a bold move was unprecedented. Queen Arawelo challenged tribal law, outlawed rape, punished criminals and battled the power of tyrants. Queen Arawelo also created the Dhagig Askari, the first all-female army on the continent of Africa. In those days, just like today, the idea of women's rule disturbed and frightened many men. Some of the Somali princes built an army to remove Queen Arawelo, forcing her to defend her fledgling domain. Watching all this from afar is the legendary Vampire Samatar, an ancient being who typically avoids entanglements with mortals. The Vampire Samatar has fallen in love with Queen Arawelo and offers her Immortality. The defiant African warrior-queen must choose between her own life and the soul of a beleaguered, stoic African nation. Whatever Queen Arawelo decides, the world will never be the same. These are her stories.

Book Description
This is the extraordinary first-person account of a young woman's coming of age in Somalia and her struggles against the obligations and strictures of family and society. By the time she is nine, Aman has undergone a ritual circumcision ceremony; at eleven, her innocent romance with a white boy leads to a murder; at thirteen she is given away in an arranged marriage to a stranger. Aman eventually runs away to Mogadishu, where her beauty and rebellious spirit leads her to the decadent demimonde of white colonialists. Hers is a world in which women are both chattel and freewheeling entrepreneurs, subject to the caprices of male relatives, yet keenly aware of the loopholes that lead to freedom. Aman is an astonishing history, opening a window onto traditional Somali life and the universal quest for female self-awareness.
