Unique among children's books, this short, colorfully illustrated

volume is meant to empower girls by teaching them about

a dozen amazing women and their special contributions

to our society, while also emphasizing the importance of diversity. Each page tells about a different woman in history, both recent and distant. The women of today's generation will be familiar to young readers, while the pioneers for women's equality will introduce them to the brave women who fought hard for our rights in the past.

This book would be a terrific catalyst to start discussions with your children or students about the role of girls and women, diversity, and the place of dreams in our lives.
