In 2021, JD Vance didn’t know the major role he was about to play in debunking the crazy cat lady myth when he unashamedly called the Democrats’ leaders, namely Kamala Harris, “A bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives” during a televised interview. His infamous slur became viral during the American presidential elections in 2024, when he was chosen by Trump as VP candidate for the Republicans. Cat lady pride invaded social media and brought an unprecedented scratch of feline feminism to the sign of the times. Taylor Swift gave the new term and the associated meme its rightful crown in her social media endorsement of Kamala Harris, signing “Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady.'' From Egyptian queen Nefertiti to Chinese poet Li Qinzhao, astrophysicist Margaherita Hack, actress Audrey Hepburn and of course the pop icon Taylor Swift...this book celebrates fifty badass women through the centuries to the present day, who rocked the world with their pioneering character and look on life, while cherishing the strongest bond with the most mysterious and independent pet species of all time, the almighty cat. Fiercely independent, strong-minded, elegantly mysterious and most of all, untamed – what could be a better compliment than being called a cat lady?
