Description
Get inspired by the powerful sheroes in this feminist collection of short biographies.
"This book is an antidote to the erasure of women from our history." - Vicki Leon, author of Uppity Women of Ancient Times
#1 Best Seller in Teen & Young Adult Social Activist Biographies, Sociology, and Self-Esteem & Self-Reliance
Discover some of the most awesome women in history. Now is the time to acknowledge the greatness of women!
Sheroes. Women hold up half the sky and, most days, do even more of the heavy lifting including childbearing and child-rearing, all after a long day at the office. Women have always been strong, true sheroes, oftentimes unacknowledged. As we shake off the last traces of a major patriarchal hangover, women are coming into their own. In the 21st Century, all women can fully embrace their fiery fempower and celebrate their no-holds-barred individuality. It is time to acknowledge the successful women of the world.
Super women as female role models. This book paints 200 portraits of powerful and inspiring role models for women and girls poised to become super women of the future.
Super women you will meet in The Book of Awesome Women include:
- Dian Fossey
- Martina Navratilova
