Not only did these women persist, many unknowingly made history and ultimately inspired later generations in doing so. This includes competing in marathons, publishing books, escaping enslavement, practicing medicine, tunneling deep in the earth as miners, taking to the seas as pirates and serving on the frontlines in the military, among many other pursuits. These women took matters into their own hands, dressing-sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively-as men to do what they wanted to do. An often sardonic and thoroughly impassioned homage to female ingenuity and tenacity, the women profiled in this inspiring anthology broke the rules to reach their goals and refused to take “no” for an answer. LET ME BE FRANK illuminates with a wry warmth the incredible stories of a diverse group of women from different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds who have defied the patriarchy, refusing to allow men or the status quo to define their lives or break their spirit. Writer, actor, and feminist Tracy Dawson joins Chion Wolf, the host of WNPR’s Audacious and The MTH&M’s The Mouth Off, to discuss trailblazers throughout history who disguised themselves as men and continuously broke the rules to gain access and opportunities denied them because they were women.
