What Would Cleopatra Do?

Life Lessons from 50 of History's Most Extraordinary Women

De: Elizabeth Foley, Beth Coates

Narrado por: Madeleine Maby

Irreverent and inspirational, What Would Cleopatra Do? shares the wisdom and advice passed down from Cleopatra, Queen Victoria, Dorothy Parker, and 47 other heroines from past eras on how to handle an array of common problems women have encountered throughout history and still face today.

What Would Cleopatra Do? tackles issues by reminding us of inspiring feminists from the past, telling their stories with warmth, humor, and verve. From sticking up for yourself, improving body image, deciding whether to have children, finding a mentor, getting dumped, feeling like an impostor, being unattractive, and dealing with gossip, we can learn a lot by hearing the motivational stories of heroic women who, living in much tougher times through history, took control of their own destinies and made life work for them.

Here are Cleopatra’s thoughts on sibling rivalry, Mae West on positive body image, Frida Kahlo on finding your style, Catherine the Great on dealing with gossip, Agatha Christie on getting dumped, Hedy Lamarr on being underestimated - to list only a few - as well as others who address dilemmas including career-planning, female friendship, loneliness, financial management, and political engagement.

What Would Cleopatra Do? is a distinctive, witty, and gift-worthy tribute to history’s outstanding women.

To much profanity

This book was very informative. The women discussed were on the whole were worthy of being in this book. What Concerns me was the use of profanity. It lowered my feelings and the use was not professional.
