A Tyranny of Petticoats: 15 Stories of Belles, Bank Robbers & Other Badass Girls by Jessica Spotswood
4.0
I'll be honest, anthologies are not my favorite thing to read. They're a great way to experience my favorite authors while also being introduced to new ones, but there are always stories that leave me wanting more. And knowing a few chapters is all I'm going to get can be frustrating.
When I saw the author line up for A Tyranny of Petticoats, I knew it was going to be different, so I decided t give it a shot, and I'm really glad I did!
All of the stories take place during different periods in history and feature a cast of strong, diverse female characters. Pirates, spies, outlaws, activists, and screenwriters to name a few. It's impossible for me to review each one individually, but the two that I enjoyed the most and have continued to stick with me are, Madeleine's Choice by Jessica Spotswood, and Leslye Walton's, El Destinos.
Even if historical fiction isn't your usual jam, this one has fantasy and mythology elements as well. Read it!
