On dit chaud comme la braise. Mais dans certains coins on dit aussi mettre le feu aux poudres, on dit hot saucisse, on dit chaud bouillant, on dit tout feu tout flamme, on dit torriiiiiide et partout l'intensité du thermomètre est au max. Chaud comme la braise: 18 auteurs qui vous feront transpirer, 18 textes courts qui vous brûleront les yeux
History paints war out to be a man's business, but there is an army of women warriors who stand between the lines of history books, waiting to be seen. This biographical dictionary tells the story of the females who armed themselves against threats to self, family, home and country. Spanning 17 periods of world history, it compiles the daring deeds of 1,622 female fighters, from Bronze Age archers and Viking raiders, to helicopter pilots and commanders of aircraft carriers. Entries summarize heroes such as the Old Testament judge Deborah, Joan of Arc, Elizabeth I, Aisha, Mary Spencer-Churchill, Calamity Jane, Cleopatra VII, Molly Pitcher, Aung San Suu Kyi and-- surprisingly-- Julia Child. Included are the famous stands the unheralded scrappers and risk-takers took up in fierce crises.
