No Girls Allowed: Tales of Daring Women Dressed as Men for Love, Freedom and Adventure
No Girls Allowed
Willow Dawson, Susan Hughes
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.

No Girls Allowed review by MHay
Profile Picture

No Girls Allowed is a graphic novel that takes you on a girls only adventure around the world. There are seven stories about women who refused to settle for the status quo and did not let their gender hold them back. Starting off in Egypt around 1500 BCE we're introduced to Hatshepsut whose father is a pharaoh. This story centers on her struggle to gain the title of pharaoh, which would be rightfully hers if she were male.
