This book features the true stories of 25 women who have all changed the world in their own way - from the Trung sisters who led a rebellion against China in Vietnam 2,000 years ago, to Catherine the Great who became Empress of Russia, to the great painter Frida Kahlo, the young Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai, the dedicated actress Emma Watson, and Michelle Obama who is a great advocate for the rights of women and girls. Each of these women is impressive in her own way, but whether a scientist, nurse, writer, lawyer, actress, environmentalist, soccer player, or animal rights activist, they all have one thing in common: they believed, and continue to believe, that men and women are equal, and have refused to let men run the course of history.
