This one is for shelves everywhere. Read it with all your sons and
daughters and share it far and wide.

A book to put into primary classrooms, secondary school libraries,
to buy for families, and to share and discuss wherever and whenever
you can - I certainly intend to.

Although there is a little more recognition of BAME and diverse
voices in history now, and a little more recognition that all
people need to be represented in publishing, there is still a gap
in the market for such titles. This beautiful little book aims to
plug one gap.
*Minerva Reads*
As long as we're celebrating complicated women - women who have
done good and bad things, women who have succeeded, women who have
failed but tried, women who are brilliant on a world stage, women
who are brilliant in their own communities - I'll carry on pressing
these books into the hands of women I know.
