Think it’s always been a man’s world? Think again. 100 Women Who Made History tells the exciting story of the women who changed everything, introducing readers to some of history’s true wonder women – from super scientists like Marie Curie and Rosalind Franklin to clued-up creatives such as Emily Dickinson and J.K. Rowling. This visual educational book celebrates centuries of brave and brilliant women who reshaped politics, science, business, and the arts, alongside daring entrepreneurs and inventive creatives, tracing the landmark moments in each remarkable life. Readers meet historic leading ladies like Joan of Arc and Eleanor Roosevelt alongside modern game-changers such as Maya Angelou, Angela Merkel, Serena Williams, and Malala Yousafzai, with beautiful photography and quirky “bobblehead” illustrations presenting history in an engaging and genuinely fun way. Take a tour through the past and uncover what made Catherine the Great so great, why millions have read Anne Frank’s diary, and how Harriet Tubman led hundreds to freedom, with “what came before…” and “what came after…” panels putting each story firmly in context. Special features highlight contemporaneous women working in similar fields, painting a fuller picture for young readers. Wonderfully inspirational for girls and boys aged 9 and up, this is a genuine learning tool that introduces themes like human rights and gender equality from an age-appropriate angle, covering remarkable women across categories including clued-up creatives, super scientists, leading ladies, intrepid entrepreneurs, and amazing achievers. 100 Women Who Made History is part of the wider 100 Who Made History series, exploring the most important people in history and how they helped shape the world we live in today. There’s a wonder woman waiting to inspire every reader on every single page.
