Porath says: "And when we learn about a true legend - say, Harriet Tubman - we get half the story (and it's usually not the half about her as a plantation-torching Union spy-master)." Many of these women have been forgotten by history entirely or, the stories we hear about them aren't the full stories. His mission is to tell the stories of the "women too uncompromising, too untoward, or too uncomfortable to fit the modern princess mold." These women persevered, fought alongside men in some of the world's grittiest wars, discovered the mysteries of the universe, and so much more. Porath, a former DreamWorks animator, began this project as a blog. ![]() In his new book Rejected Princesses: Tales of History's Boldest Heroines, Hellions & Heretics, animator Jason Porath presents a collection of true stories about the 'amazing, awful or offbeat' women that history has forgotten. Make room for 100 new, 'rejected' princesses that'll redefine the royal title and force you to rethink the stories you grew up hearing. Let her leprosy go untreated for years to make herself the perfect spy in the Japan-occupied Philippines - soldiers wouldnt touch her, so she could slip right through.
