Great Women's Speeches: Empowering Voices That Engage and Inspire
Great Women's Speeches: Empowering Voices That Engage and Inspire | Anna Russell
2 posts | 2 read | 8 to read
Discover the inspiring voices that have changed our world, and started a new conversation. Great Women's Speeches is essential reading for pioneering women everywhere. From Emmeline Pankhurst's 'Freedom or Death' speech and Marie Curie's trailblazing Nobel lecture, to Michelle Obama speaking on parenthood in politics and Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza's stirring ode to black women, the words collected here are empowering, engaging and entirely unapologetic. New Yorker writer Anna Russell introduces each speech with a concise bio of the remarkable woman who delivered it. Paired with powerful illustrations from Camila Pinheiro, the unique personality of each woman is brought to vivid life. A pink ribbon keeps your place in the book.

3.5/5

This book was full of incredible speeches made by incredible women (primarily in the last 200 years). I was unfamiliar with most of the speeches, and many of these incredible women. I appreciated that there was a brief bio before an excerpt from a speech they gave, and I loved the illustrations of all the women.

The list might change a little depending on what I finish reading in the next 5 days, but I think I've got my March list for #bookspin #doublebookspin #bookspinbingo

I'm trying something out where I pick 5 netgalleys, 5 books on my backlog, 5 books for reading challenges, and 5 books for fun. It worked pretty well in February so I'm trying it again
