The 19th century was an exciting period for women. I Did It My Way: Extraordinary Women and Their Stories is a compilation of biographies celebrating little-known women from all walks of life who lived remarkable lives of invention, ambition, survival, and strength in a male-dominated world.
Each biography places the reader at the heart of her world before recounting how she overcame struggle and adversity. A broad range of women is covered, representing diverse nationalities and circumstances. The book also explores the geographical and cultural forces of the 19th century that shaped and limited women's opportunities.
Their achievements span fields from medicine and exploration to social reform and life-saving innovation. Whether through necessity or ambition, each woman found a way to express herself and accomplish extraordinary things at a time when women were often undervalued. They battled sexism, slavery, abuse, and poverty to realise their dreams and to be the very best they could be.
There must have been thousands more across the world who were barely recognised. Each one was a heroine in her own right, and it is important that their stories are told – to surprise, inspire, and embolden the young women of today.
