The English Channel, the United States Government, Hitler, cancer - these are a few of the obstacles which these extraordinary women hurdle on their way to ticker tape parades, prison cells and anonymous fates. Theseare not theatrical accolades to daring public feats; the inner frontier s we learn, are the most treacherous to navigate. So these figures are not statues in the park being polished for public view. And not heroines in a male melodrama, but heroes in their own right, and in their own world - meet them in Julia Miles' new collection from The Women's Project.
