Sinopse
Características

A very special collection of short biographies offers insightful sketches of the lives and accomplishments of 150 of historys most influential and brilliant women, including Clara Barton, the legendary Trung Sisters of medieval Vietnam, and many others. Ranging from an ancient Egyptian ruler (Queen Hatshepsut) to a contemporary athlete (Billie Jean King), these highly readable thumbnail sketches cover areas from literature to politics, fashion to aviation, music to science. The 120 entries offer concise overviews of specific womens lives and accomplishments, with a thoughtful blend of professional and personal details. In addition to often-profiled figures (Susan B. Anthony, Eleanor Roosevelt), the collection also includes less well known but influential women like the seventh-century Chinese ruler Wu Chao and Vietnamese activist Nguyen Thi Binh. The team of nine women authors (including Ashby and Ohrn) employs a conversational tone that encourages leisurely browsing. Many selections are prefaced with a revealing excerpt from the subjects writings, and each is accompanied by a photograph or artistic likeness. Ages 10-up.
