Book Overview

A female pharaoh? A woman general in the Kahn's army? A female Viking raider? No way, you say? Look again. Appearances can be deceiving ... Based on legends, poems, letters and first-hand accounts, these seven biographical tales tell of women who disguised themselves as men. From ancient Egypt through the Middle Ages to the 19th century, this historically accurate graphic treatment is perfect to transport readers back to bygone eras. The lives of these daring women were often filled with danger and the fear of discovery. However, for the sake of freedom, ambition, love or adventure, these women risked everything. No Girls Allowed brings a contemporary edge to a part of history largely untold - until now.

What Men Can Do, Women Can Do Just As Well

Women have often been restricted in the roles their society or culture allowed them. But some women have challenged those restrictions, even at the risk of their lives or reputations. /No Girls Allowed/ is the stories of seven such women, collected from legends, poems, and ins come cases, first-hand accounts. Told in sequential art format, these stories include Hatshepsut, the first female pharaoh, Mu Lan, the Chinese daughter that took her father's place in the army, and Alfhild, a Scandinavian princess that became a Viking raider. Each of the stories shows that girls and women could follow their dreams and do those things that were "men only," and be successful at them.
