Remarkable Women have been at the forefront of history. They've changed the world and are leading the way to our future. But how much do you really know about the remarkable women who've shaped our world?

We all know that...
Frida Kahlo made her name as a painter
Jane Austen wrote simple romance novels
Men pioneered scientific breakthroughs in the past
AND that ancient people only worshipped strong male gods...
Or did they...? Because... OH NO THEY DIDN'T!

Misconceptions about women from the past and present are everywhere, but none of them are true! In Remarkable Women, myths are busted about over 50 remarkable women from politicians to legends, performers, activists, scientists, mathematicians, creatives, and more.

In this fresh and funny guide, learn about inspiring women from all over the world as well as their influence on history and popular culture. Stylishly designed and humorously illustrated by Sam Caldwell, Remarkable Women makes learning fun with unexpected facts and a playful, upbeat approach to non-fiction.

Remarkable Women is the perfect inspiring guide for ALL young people to learn about the influential women who may have been left out of traditional history books and deserve to be celebrated.
