Fantastically Great Women Who Made History
by Kate Pankhurst
Published by Bloomsbury, 12 November 2018
This is a collection of wonderfully illustrated mini biographies of some of the most remarkable women who ever lived.
Included in here are Harriet Tubman, Boudica, Flora Drummond, Qiu Jin, Noor Inayat Khan, Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, Pocahontas, Valentina Tereshvova, Ada Lovelace, Sayyida al-Hurra, Hatshepsut, Josephine Baker, Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley.
Each great lady has a colourful, playfully illustrated page (more often than not double spreads) of her life. Some of these women I knew but some I met for the first time within these pages.
This is a lovely children's non-fic book that is a joy for adults too. Great for a leisure read as well as curriculum support.
