"A brazen, uproarious collection of illustrations of tough women both historical and fantastical. Not fantasy tales of blushing ingenues and happily-ever-afters. Here are the unsung women of history, real and from literature, mythology and folklore. Illustrated in a contemporary animation style, Rejected Princesses dismisses the 'pretty pink princess' stereotype and profiles, through biography, imagery, wit, and humor, badass women throughout time and from all around the world. Warrior queens, soldiers, villains, spies and revolutionaries. Women of every era, ethnicity, class and orientation including a princess-cum-pirate from 5th century Denmark, a rebel preacher in 1630s Boston, a Hungarian blood thirsty countess, and a former prostitute that commanded a fleet of 70,000+ men on the Chinese seas. Jason Porath presents the female role models we never knew we needed. For more information, visit the website rejectedprincesses.com."--Provided by publisher.
