Strange. Slut. Shrew. Screwball. History obscures women who are neither pretty nor sainted. Unbecoming a Lady tells the story of twenty women we all should know, including: Dr. Mary Walker: The only woman ever to win the Congressional Medal of Honor, but that's only because Congress couldn't pry it from her when they came to take it back. Aida Overton Walker: She integrated the American theater with elegance, unparalleled skill, and rather problematic performances. Aimee Semple McPherson: The nation's first true "celebrity" and a world-famous preacher, she's still mostly remembered for faking her own kidnapping. Badly. Hetty Green: Don't let the filthy clothes, freezing apartments, and utter disdain for humanity fool you; she was America's first self-made lady billionaire. Carrie Nation: She said it was God who told her to take an axe to all the gin joints in Kansas, but she had her own reasons, too. With dozens of cheeky illustrations and historical photographs, and written with irresistible charm and laugh-out-loud impertinence, Unbecoming a Lady proves that there's much to be learned from those who were so unbecoming as women that they forever changed what women can become.
