When I saw this book, I jumped at the chance to read and review it. I was looking forward to reading (Or listening to rather, as this was the audiobook) about more kick-arse women in history and LGBTQIA+ woman. I already knew that many times in history that women dressed as lived as men in order to do what they wanted to and to love who they loved. It still surprises me how they managed to do it and pass as a man (I'm a trans man and found it hard to pass pre-transition, so I'm in awe of those that can pass naturally)

I wanted to love this book, I love history and I find things like this very interesting. However, I feel like this book is aimed at maybe teens more than adults. The book is full of jokes and slang terms. The style it's written in is very informal, which there is nothing wrong with. But some of the jokes were too many, where I kind of lost sight of who the chapter was about. and the information being told. I love non-fiction books that are informal and feel more like a talk with friends than reading (or listening) to something from a page, but I feel like if this was a conversation, I would constantly be asking for them to repeat what they said. This could just be because I listened to the audiobook, instead of reading it. I looked up reviews before I typed this to see if I was the only one, but this seems to be a common issue. I agree that the writing style isn't for me and maybe it's my age (24) and that this is aimed for slightly younger people, who may find the writing style to be easy to read and understand.
