- Browse one profile at a time, pausing to use the illustrations, quotations and glossary. Follow your child’s interests into a particular field, then check unfamiliar historical, scientific or cultural terms together.
- Themes
- Women’s contributions and equality: The book places women’s achievements in literature, science, politics, art, sport and exploration alongside one another. The collection clearly values women’s contributions across different fields and presents them as significant to wider society.
- Achievement, courage and adversity: Profiles include Frida Kahlo’s art, Rosa Parks’ activism, Gertrude Ederle’s swimming and Marie Curie’s scientific work. The presentation celebrates determination and achievement, while some examples connect accomplishment with difficult circumstances.
- Worth knowing
