Description
TRUE STORIES OF THE TRAILBLAZING MISFITS YOUR SCHOOLBOOKS FORGOT TO MENTION
In her trademark witty and irreverent style, TikTok historian Jenny Draper introduces us to 24 fascinating figures sidelined by history. Learn from the trials and tribulations of inspiring mavericks such as:
- Noor Inayat Khan, a courageous secret agent dropped behind enemy lines in World War II
- Ellen and William Craft, a couple who made a daring escape from slavery in the American South
- Peter the Wild Boy, a child found living in the woods in Germany who was taken to the royal court in England
- La Chevalire d'Eon, a fencing master, spy and diplomat who came out as a woman in 18th-century London
- And many more ...
Break away from history as told through the lens of the rich and famous and discover a multitude of extraordinary characters you won't forget!
"Shines a spotlight on a cast of impressive historic characters who deserve to be remembered." Max Miller, YouTuber
