Book

There are so many more incredible women throughout history than you've been taught. You might know some of the most famous and rebellious, but this is your chance to get to know 15 equally powerful strong 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, you'll learn about the early life, struggles, and successes of the innovators, changemakers, and ceiling-breakers who redefined what strong women were allowed to be. Even if they never became household names.
