Herstory: Women who Changed the World | Ruth Ashby, Deborah Gore Ohrn
Pickpick

Gloria Steinem‘s quote from a button in the introduction sums up my feelings as I read this book: “The truth will set you free. But first, it will make you mad.” Inspiration, sadness, and anger are definitely things I felt reading about the accomplishments of these great women throughout history. These are women throughout history, around the world, and in a variety of disciplines like royalty, science, sports, arts, humanitarianism, and feminism.
