Description

Get motivated by the grit of groundbreaking women!

In Women Make History: Fifty-Three Stories of Courage, Strength & Resilience, you’ll meet the trailblazing women whose accomplishments have been dismissed, forgotten, or wrongly attributed. Spanning Colonial America to the late 20th century, you’ll be immersed in a kaleidoscope of backgrounds and experiences:

Gladys West, the brilliant African American mathematician who struggled to find work in the 1950s because of Jim Crow laws, yet went on to invent the critical components of GPS.

Susan La Flesche Picotte, the first Native American physician, who cared for 1,300 people across 1,200 miles of Nebraska plains in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Meg Crane, who designed the first home pregnancy test and improved women’s lives worldwide, launched a multi-million-dollar enterprise in the 1960s.

Once you read Women Make History, you’ll never forget how the courage of one’s convictions can illuminate a path forward for everyone.
