| Summary |
"There are so many incredible women throughout history than you've been taught about. You might know some of the most famous and rebellious, but this is your chance to get to know 15 equally powerful women who quietly broke barriers and made a lasting impact. From 10th- century novelist Murasaki Shikibu to 19th-century self-made millionaire Madam C.J. Walker, Strong Women features the struggles and successes of the innovators, changemakers, and ceiing-breakers who redefined what women were allowed to be. These are remarkable women, even if they never became household names."-back cover |
