History and the modern world around us are full of women who have done extraordinary things in all areas of life ? art, writing, civil rights, science, medicine, sport, fashion, women's rights, equality…
But their stories have not always been told, and the brave or wonderful things many women did have not always been recognized or known.
From the 1800s to the present day, from South Korea to the United States, this book tells the stories and achievements of just a few fearless women, and shows the great difference they have made to our world.
